Commissioners discuss engineers RFP, DOT caution light request and a District 4 retirement
Summary
Holmes County commissioners agreed to advertise for engineering firms, authorize a letter to FDOT seeking restoration of a caution light at Highway 2 and 2A, scheduled an MSBU information meeting and heard a District 4 commissioner announce he will not seek reelection.
The Holmes County Board handled several commissioner items including plans to re-advertise for engineering contracts, a request to ask the Florida Department of Transportation to inspect and restore a caution light, scheduling an MSBU informational meeting, and an announcement that one commissioner will not seek re-election.
Engineering RFP: Speaker 6 (referred to in the meeting as Mister Erickson) proposed reopening the county’s engineer solicitation to allow additional local firms to apply. The board discussed using a selection committee, a 30-day advertisement window and scoring proposals; members agreed to prepare an RFP and form a review committee.
DOT caution light: Speaker 6 moved that the board send a letter to the state DOT requesting review and restoration of the caution light at Highway 2 and 2A; the motion was seconded and members voiced support.
MSBU and staff permissions: Speaker 9 said a Tallahassee representative will present MSBU information Dec. 4 at 5:00 p.m. at the golf course; the board also authorized staff to begin certain sales on Dec. 1 (the transcript does not specify the items).
Retirement announcement: Speaker 4 announced he will not seek reelection for District 4 when his current term ends, and colleagues offered public thanks for his years of service.
What comes next: Staff was directed to draft the engineers RFP materials, convene a selection committee and to prepare the DOT letter for signature. The MSBU informational meeting remains scheduled for Dec. 4 at 5 p.m.; staff will return with any additional details on the Dec. 1 sales authorization.
