Commissioners approve Cook Engineering proposal and RFQ waiver for rec center press box and field lighting
Summary
The board approved hiring Cook Engineering to design a press box and related electrical work to support new field lighting and dugouts at the recreation center; staff said the work ties to the county’s SCIF grant closeout and requested an RFQ waiver because of prior familiarity and cost limits.
Mitchell County commissioners approved a proposal from Cook Engineering to design a press box and associated electrical work to accommodate field lighting and dugouts at the county recreation center. County staff said the press box and wiring are necessary to centralize controls for new field lighting at the recreation complex and are part of the scope tied to a previously awarded SCIF grant; the county wants to complete the scope before closing out that grant. Counsel noted that an RFQ waiver is permissible where an engineer is already familiar with the project and the anticipated cost is below the $50,000 threshold. A motion to accept the Cook Engineering proposal with clarifications from the county attorney was made and seconded; the item was approved by voice vote (tally not specified). Staff indicated follow-up conversations will occur with field operations staff (identified in the meeting as Ford) on design details.
