Board approves Solid Ground geotechnical work for Bath Middle School (BG25‑084)
Summary
Bath County's board approved geotechnical services for the middle‑school renovation (BG25‑084), accepting the lowest quote from Solid Ground and authorizing roughly $6,500 for select borings to inform underground utility and seismic decisions.
The Bath County Board of Education approved geotechnical services for the Bath County Middle School renovation (BG number 25084) during its Sept. 15 working session. The project presenter recommended Solid Ground as the lowest‑cost, fastest vendor for select borings to support new water and gas-line work and to assess local soil and seismic conditions.
Unidentified Speaker 3 summarized three quotes and recommended Solid Ground based on price and turnaround time; the presenter said the district had budgeted amounts for topographic and geotechnical surveys and that the $6,500 geotechnical fee would keep the project under the originally anticipated total. Carla moved to approve the geotechnical services and Eric seconded; the chair called for verbal assent and announced the motion carried.
The geotechnical borings will be used to inform depth requirements for soil replacement and to guide foundation and underground‑utility decisions during the renovation. The board asked staff to provide documentation and line‑item cost breakdowns where possible to clarify total project expenditures.
The motion passed at the Sept. 15 working session; Solid Ground was recommended to proceed with select borings at locations tied to utility introductions and the mechanical yard.
