Commissioners briefed on McLeod nursing‑home renovations; staff raises sole‑source option for follow‑on work
Summary
Staff and project partners updated commissioners on renovations at the McLeod assisted‑living and nursing‑home facilities, outlined a plan to tour completed work with the nursing‑home subcommittee, and signaled the board may be asked to consider a sole‑source award to the current contractors if bonding is approved.
County staff and commissioners discussed the McLeod assisted‑living and nursing‑home renovation project and planned a site tour for the nursing‑home subcommittee to accompany the subcommittee’s budget review.
Staff said the team intends to complete the subcommittee’s budget review and then lead a walk‑through of assisted living and the Fourth and Fifth floors for subcommittee members so they can review the renovations and ask questions. Staff identified Anthony Mento from SMP and Keith from Harvey Construction as key project partners and praised their work on schedule and under budget for the assisted‑living portion.
Staff said the contractors met an accelerated timeline and that, if the board approves bonding for the next phase of work, the county may approach the board about a sole‑source award to the same contractors to preserve continuity and speed execution. Staff characterized the contractors’ performance as a key reason for recommending consideration of sole sourcing for closely related follow‑on work, while noting the board would still have opportunity to review and approve such a request.
Commissioners scheduled the nursing‑home subcommittee meeting and a tentative delegation meeting in March to coincide with budget actions; staff said the tour would follow the subcommittee’s budget review and that meeting logistics (time and location) would be circulated. No sole‑source contract was approved at the meeting; staff said they will return to the board with formal requests if bonding and procurement steps proceed.
Commissioners and staff asked for continued updates and participation from project partners as the project moves toward bond funding and potential contract actions.
