KQES modular campus stalled; board gives architect two-week deadline and hears other project updates
Summary
Skanska reported the KQES modular campus has seen little progress since April because civil engineering documents were not received; the board set a two-week deadline for biddable documents and required the architect to appear Sept. 11. The board also heard updates on a Telework Center bid, ongoing fire-station planning and a proposed Rural Solar Development Coalition membership.
Dane Seagle of Skanska told the King and Queen County Board of Supervisors on Aug. 28 that the KQES modular campus project has stalled because the architect has not delivered civil engineering documents and that little of significance has occurred since April.
The board set a two-week deadline for the architect to provide biddable documents and required the architect to attend the Sept. 11 meeting to update supervisors on progress. Seagle also reported that the Telework Center project has been put out to bid and that a pre-bid meeting is scheduled for Sept. 6.
On the fire-station project, Seagle said staff and EMS personnel continue meetings to identify facility needs. Board discussion flagged questions about ADA compliance, placement of a state-required on-site pharmacy, provision of a training tower and a hose-drying area.
County Administrator Vivian Seay presented a membership proposal from the Rural Solar Development Coalition, which offers assistance to local governments navigating solar-farm processes. Seay said the group's membership is $5,000 annually but that the group offered a 50 percent discount if she provides legal services. The board expressed a willingness to join but questioned the cost and whether the county could get membership at no charge or greater value for the fee.
Supervisors asked staff to pursue the architect deadline and to bring progress updates to the Sept. 11 meeting.
