Harrison County approves multiple ARPA/MCWI infrastructure awards and routine purchases; board authorizes execution of revised grant agreements
Summary
The Board approved several ARPA/MCWI construction and equipment awards, authorized revised grant agreements to be executed before year-end, and passed routine consent items including equipment purchases and reimbursements.
The Harrison County Board of Supervisors voted to award multiple ARPA and MCWI infrastructure contracts and approved routine purchases and reimbursements as part of its consent agenda.
Among the awards the board approved were:
- An order awarding the MCWI ARPA Fire Tower Road South sewer system contract in the amount of $2,392,801.01.
- An order awarding the MCWI ARPA Fire Tower Road water-system improvements contract to PNA Underground for a total bid of $2,995,555.
- An order awarding the MCWI ARPA Veil Ferry Road elevation, drainage and flood access project to the lowest and best bidder for a total award amount of $8,524,656.60, including additive alternates, as recommended by the design engineer Covington Civil and Environmental and county engineer Jacqueline Turner.
The board also approved awards for Turkey Creek drainage equipment and other MCWI ARPA bids as recommended by project architects and the county engineer. A county staff member told the board that, combining ARPA and MCWI funding, the county had approximately $68 million in infrastructure work identified and that, with the awards made at the meeting, the county had obligated the majority of that total (figures presented in the meeting transcript were described as “just shy of $68,000,000” and an obligated amount was stated in the record; the transcript contains numeric transcription artifacts). The board authorized the board president to execute revised grant agreements for the ARPA MCWI projects so the county could finalize paperwork before the end of the calendar year.
Other items approved on the consent agenda included a local purchase of a Cat 303.5 mini excavator from Puckett-Ritz for $71,459.81; a playground set and installation for $64,222 payable from account 00193922 per a request from the court administrator; a line-of-transfer of $8,300 to purchase a 22-foot trailer; a $369.58 purchase of additional holiday lights for a public park; and reimbursements and duplicate-warrant approvals as listed in the clerk’s file.
The sheriff provided a routine detention report during the meeting (counts and inmate categories were presented to the board). The board carried the consent agenda and voted to approve the listed purchases and awards.
