Board approves utility‑locating contract and raises cap for county electrical vendor
Summary
The board approved a five‑year utility locating contract with Project and Construction Management Services (monthly fee negotiated down to $1,300) and approved raising the cap on Wayne Cook Electric's contract to align with procurement thresholds and ongoing county projects.
The Board approved two procurement items affecting routine county operations.
Staff said the county received one responsive bid for locating and marking utilities and, after negotiation, reduced the monthly contract fee from $2,300 to $1,300. Because the five‑year total exceeds the county's $50,000 procurement threshold, the board approved the award by roll call.
Separately, staff requested an amendment to increase the cap on existing electrical services with Wayne Cook Electric because several ongoing projects (including McKinney Gym and generator work) were pushing the contract over its original $50,000 limit. Staff said the county will raise the cap up to procurement thresholds (noting $200,000 triggers an IFB); the board approved the change unanimously.
