Carroll County awards Cana Convenience Center contract to Richardson over staff recommendation
Summary
The Carroll County Board of Supervisors voted Jan. 5 to award the contract for the Cana Convenience Center to Richardson, despite a staff RFP recommendation favoring Kingdom Clean; the roll-call vote recorded at least one dissenting vote by Supervisor Collins.
The Carroll County Board of Supervisors voted on Jan. 5 to award the contract for the Cana Convenience Center site to Richardson.
County staff told the board the RFP recommendation before interviews favored Kingdom Clean. During the public meeting a supervisor moved to award the contract to Richardson, saying, "we heard information tonight that was not contained in the RFP that I think is pertinent to this decision, and that's why I've nominated them." The board then held a recorded roll-call vote and approved the award; the transcript records at least one 'no' vote by Mister Collins.
The matter had been discussed in closed session under Virginia Code §2.2-3711(A)(6) and (A)(29) — for competitive bargaining and contract award negotiations — before the public vote was taken and certified by the board in open session.
The board did not state in the public transcript the detailed grounds for choosing Richardson over the staff-recommended firm; staff had earlier stated the RFP recommendation favored Kingdom Clean "before interviews." The transcript does not include further procurement documentation or the full evaluation record.
Chairman Dixon opened the public discussion and the board recorded its vote; the contract award took effect upon the board’s approval and will proceed under procurement procedures and any required contract execution steps.
