Summary
The Hart County Board of Commissioners accepted the county administrator’s recommendation and awarded the transfer‑station construction manager contract to Charles Black Construction; the firm’s bid was about $400,000 below the nearest competitor and the vote was unanimous.
The Hart County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to award the county’s transfer‑station construction manager contract to Charles Black Construction after the county administrator presented the bid evaluation.
County Administrator (S6) told commissioners the architectural evaluation found both bidders qualified but that price was the distinguishing factor: “Charles Black was right at $400,000 less than the other company,” S6 said, and recommended Charles Black based on comparable qualifications and lower cost.
Commissioner Dorsey (S5) moved to accept the administrator’s recommendation; the motion was seconded and approved on a 5‑0 voice vote. The board recorded the motion, the second and the unanimous approval during the meeting.
The county packet included the architect’s evaluation and showed both bidders met the county’s qualifications, S6 said. The administrator also described scheduling constraints and noted work on the transfer station would follow the contract award and the county’s project timeline.
The contract award carries the county’s typical postapproval steps: contracting, final scheduling and supervision by county staff and the architect. No amendments to the contract were described at the meeting.
The board immediately moved on to other agenda items after the vote.
