Henderson awards contract to HG Reynolds for William and Montgomery Street Park after budget questions
Summary
After concerns about rising costs and funding gaps, the Council accepted HG Reynolds’s lone bid for the William and Montgomery Street Park project and approved Resolution 25-26; staff and Council noted remaining costs of about $1.1 million and estimated the City’s share near $600,000.
The Henderson City Council voted to accept HG Reynolds’s bid and award a contract to complete the William and Montgomery Street Park project after discussing cost increases and funding status.
Recreation and Parks Director Kendrick Vann told the Council the PARTF-funded project missed two earlier bid rounds and had a new state project-completion deadline of January 2026; $120,000 of PARTF funding had already been spent on the project with approximately $280,000 remaining in that specific PARTF allocation. Following the bid opening, staff reported a remaining project cost of about $1.1 million, and Councilmember Garry D. Daeke estimated the City’s responsibility would be roughly $600,000 (the minutes attribute the estimate to Council discussion).
Councilmember Daeke moved to table acceptance of the HG Reynolds bid until after the Finance Director’s recommended budget presentation; that motion passed unanimously. After the budget presentation, the Council took the item off the table, and Councilmember Michael Venable moved approval of Resolution 25-26 Accepting a Contract Bid from HG Reynolds; the motion was seconded by Councilmember Daeke and approved unanimously.
The minutes record the contract award and the funding questions highlighted during discussion; they do not provide final line-item funding sources or a detailed payment schedule in the meeting record. The City will share project costs with Vance County (45% share noted), and staff indicated continued reliance on PARTF grant extensions and county contributions to complete the project.
Next steps recorded in the minutes: proceed with contracting HG Reynolds with county cost sharing; Finance staff to account for remaining project costs in the upcoming budget.
