Loading...
Summary
Supervisors approved multiple administrative items: demolition and health screening contracts, a lease for the Division of Fire, acquisition of a property for drainage mitigation ($316,500), and moved a Sandston polling place to Sandston Elementary School.
At its Jan. 27 meeting, Henrico County’s Board of Supervisors approved a series of administrative resolutions including contract awards, a property acquisition for flood mitigation and a polling-place change.
Contracts: The board approved an annual contract for structural demolition services to the low bidder (a hauling company with prior work history with the county). It also approved a negotiated unit-rate contract for public safety cancer screenings with United Diagnostic Services LLC; staff said the program supports ongoing screenings for county public safety employees.
Facilities and leases: The board authorized signatory authority for a lease of 9,217 square feet at 2263 Dabney Road for the Division of Fire (Brooklyn District) and approved an agricultural lease of 113.76 acres at Malvern Hill Farm to Ingle/Engel Farms on a one-year initial term with renewals up to six years.
Acquisitions and easements: The board authorized acquisition of 2715 Bowles Lane for drainage and flood mitigation for $316,500 and approved temporary construction easements with VDOT to extend sidewalks along Patterson Avenue (locations include Borden Road, West Ham Parkway and Sweet Briar Road). The board also approved a condemnation resolution to acquire property at 1725 Veil Street for the Fall Line Trail, with staff calling it a “friendly condemnation” because the county and owner already agree on value but need lender sign-off.
Polling place: The board approved moving the Sandston Precinct polling place from Sandston Baptist Church to Sandston Elementary School after staff explained the church can no longer accommodate the precinct because of conflicting uses.
All of the above passed by voice votes with no public speakers recorded on these items.
What’s next: Staff will execute contracts and proceed with acquisitions and easement recording; capital and procurement staff will follow their respective processes for award implementation.
