Commissioners approve larger 'not to exceed' cap for disaster debris removal contract
Summary
After a presentation by SDR Southern Disaster Recovery, the board approved increasing the county's not-to-exceed amount on the debris-removal contract; the change was approved by voice vote but contract details and implementation oversight were discussed.
Chip Patterson of SDR Southern Disaster Recovery appeared before the board to summarize a request to raise the county’s contract 'not to exceed' amount for disaster debris removal. Patterson said he and staff agreed to reduce the originally requested increase after an afternoon meeting, then offered to read the amount for the board.
During the discussion the board recorded a motion to increase the not-to-exceed amount to "$20,149,012.20" (as read during the meeting). The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Commissioners discussed the prior not-to-exceed figures and confirmed the county’s current contract total after the vote. No roll-call tally was recorded in the public minutes; the board adopted the increase by unanimous voice vote at the meeting.
What’s next: County staff will manage the amended contract under existing procurement oversight and will report back to the board as contract work proceeds.
