The Washington County Board of Supervisors voted to award Bid 2024-33, the Burgoyne Campus Project general construction contract, to Bass Hatfield, the board announced during its meeting.

The resolution, introduced as “Resolution number 7 by Supervisor Hankey,” says the contract will be awarded to Bass Hatfield “in the amount so specified” and that the award is contingent on receipt, review and approval of a certificate of comprehensive insurance, a performance bond and a payment bond. The resolution also authorizes the chairman of the board to execute necessary documents in a form reviewed and approved by the county attorney. The transcript does not specify the contract dollar amount.

Before taking the final vote on the resolution, the board set aside its rules to allow the clerk to read only the results unless otherwise requested; the motion to set aside the rules was moved by Mr. O'Brien and seconded by Sam Hall and was carried. The motion to adopt Resolution No. 7 was then put to a vote and recorded as carried. Members recorded as voting in favor were Edler, Paul, Fisher, Baker and O'Brien; the transcript records the result as unanimous.

The award remains conditional until the county receives and approves the required insurance and bonds and until county attorney review of the final documents. Following those administrative steps, the chairman is authorized to sign the contract documents as approved by the county attorney.
