Pickens County renews consultant engagement for Tate Mountain Estates dam renovation
Summary
County commissioners authorized renewing an engagement letter with consulting engineers (referred to in the record as 'Peoples in Quigley') so the Tate Mountain Estates dam renovation grant work can be completed; EMA director will manage the project.
The Pickens County Board of Commissioners authorized the county chairman to sign a work order renewing the consultant engagement for the Tate Mountain Estates dam renovation so grant‑funded repairs can be completed.
The chair (name not stated) told commissioners the engagement with consulting engineers (described in meeting remarks as 'Peoples in Quigley') had expired at year end and needs renewal so the consultant can finalize outstanding project work. The chair said the project is being managed by the county's EMA director and that grant funds include a provision for reimbursement if expenditures exceed the grant amount.
"We just need to do a separate engagement to continue that process so they can complete that," the chair said while requesting authority to sign the work order. The board moved, seconded and approved the authorization on the floor.
The county did not provide contract value, grant amount or timeline details during the meeting; staff follow‑up was indicated for remaining contract specifics and reimbursement mechanics.
