Prince George supervisors approve contracts, grant appropriation, appointments and refunds
Summary
At the Jan. 13 meeting the board approved an engineering inspection contract for Cedar Creek drainage, accepted a DCJS grant and approved a contract for a police data platform, approved appointments to the Planning Commission and authorized a refund to the Virginia Department of Health.
After governance and infrastructure debates the board moved through a series of formal actions: awarding a construction-administration/inspection services contract for Cedar Creek drainage improvements to Timmons Group for $58,099; appropriating $238,000 in Department of Criminal Justice Services 'Operation Ceasefire' grant funds and awarding a sole-source contract to Peregrine Software for a unified police data platform (three-year renewable contract at $70,500 per year, to be paid with grant funds); appointing John Paul and Michael Maton Jr. to four-year terms on the Planning Commission (one recorded abstention on the second appointment); and authorizing a refund of $96,530 to the Virginia Department of Health to correct a settlement overpayment.
Cedar Creek drainage: Staff explained the award was for additional inspection services requested by the Army Corps of Engineers to ensure reconstruction meets permit conditions after storm damage; the $58,099 cost is available in the Stormwater Utility Fund and the larger repair contract includes a contingency. The board approved the award on roll call; one member recorded a 'No.'
Police data platform and grant appropriation: Major Nicholas and staff explained the county applied for a DCJS technology grant and was awarded partial funding; the requested appropriation and a sole-source award to Peregrine were approved by the board. Staff said Peregrine was identified through peer municipality experience and that the selected solution integrates platforms the department already uses; the purchase is fully grant-funded and staff said it requires no local match.
Planning Commission appointments: The board appointed John Paul to a four-year term and later approved Michael Maton Jr. to a four-year term; one supervisor recorded an abstention on the second appointment and the record shows a subsequent rescind-and-resubmit motion to correct a misstatement of term length before the final vote.
Refund to Virginia Department of Health: Finance staff said the Department of Health notified the county of an error after issuing a year-end settlement payment. The county asked to appropriate fund-balance to refund $96,530; the board approved the appropriation on roll call.
Ending: These votes concluded the board’s agenda of formal actions after which the board moved to a final closed session and adjourned.
