County tables TDA engineering contract with Hanson Professional Services to Aug. 11
Summary
Commissioners tabled an engineering-services agreement funded by the Texas Department of Agriculture after the consulting firm disclosed typos and corrections were needed; the court moved the item to the Aug. 11 regular meeting.
Bee County commissioners voted on July 28 to table an engineering-services agreement with Hanson Professional Services, Inc., for a Texas Department of Agriculture-funded project after the consultant reported typographical errors and requested time to correct the contract paperwork. Hanson staff told the court they discovered several mistakes in the proposed contract late the prior week and did not want to distribute last-minute corrections at the meeting. Commissioners moved to table the item until the Aug. 11 regular meeting to allow the consultant to return with corrected contract documents. The nut graf: the contract is tied to a Texas Community Development Block Grant program and the consultant asked for the delay to avoid last-minute amendments; a related General Land Office (GLO) contract remained on the agenda and was handled separately. Ending: The court approved the GLO-funded engineering agreement later in the meeting but postponed the TDA contract to Aug. 11 to permit corrected paperwork and avoid procedural errors on the record.
