Crossville board approves invoices, authorizes payment to American Construction

The Crossville project board voted to approve payment of two vendor invoices, including a $10,000 invoice to American Construction for pre-construction work on the Uplands project, during its recent meeting.

Board member 1 made the motion to approve payment and Board member 2 seconded; the board then voted in favor.

The board discussed the status of the Uplands contract and noted the project is in its final design and build stages. A staff member, Tracy, said the American Construction invoice had been signed earlier because it was below the $25,000 threshold and that the project has “already paid part of the Upland contract.” Board members characterized the remaining work as completing final inspections and finishing stages; one member summarized that the build phase appears “maybe 80 [percent]” complete and that the board likely owes the contractor the remaining roughly 20 percent.

Tracy identified a second, smaller invoice from Oakland Design Group (amount stated in the packet as 290) that was presented alongside the American Construction invoice. The board agreed to authorize payment of the presented invoices.

The board also approved minutes from the prior meeting earlier in the session.

Less-critical administrative items discussed before adjournment included a balance report for the project account and an estimated project schedule. A staff member reported an account balance and interest information (figures in the transcript were not clearly stated). A separate participant estimated the project’s remaining completion timeframe at “18 to 20 months.”
