Chesterfield County Council accepts $64,623 bid for Veterans Park, declares two vehicles surplus and forwards water-company land request to finance committee
Summary
At its Feb. 5 meeting, Chesterfield County Council unanimously accepted a $64,623.50 bid for a Veterans Park, declared two county vehicles surplus and referred a requested 6,000 sq. ft. property transfer to the Finance Committee for further review; an executive-session matter on the Detention Center was referred to the Building Committee.
Chesterfield County Council unanimously accepted a single responsive bid of $64,623.50 from D.A.P. Contracting, Inc. to construct the county Veterans Park, County Administrator Michelle Stanley told the board.
The action, moved by Council Member Eddie Kirkley and seconded by Vice-Chair Todd Smallwood, was one of several routine approvals at the Feb. 5 regular meeting in Council Chambers.
Why it matters: The approved bid clears the way for the county to proceed with park construction procurement. Administrator Stanley presented the bid as the only responsive offer received in response to the county’s Invitation for Bids.
Council also declared two county-owned vehicles surplus so they could be removed from inventory: a 2020 Ford F250 (VIN 1FD7W2B69LEE27884) and a 2019 Dodge Charger (VIN 2C3CDXAT9KH604541). Council Member Ethan Foard moved to declare the vehicles surplus; Council Member Douglas Curtis seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Another item before the board involved a request from Chesterfield County Rural Water Company (CCRWC) to receive roughly 6,000 square feet of county-owned property identified as Tap Max No. 225-000-000-034 for construction of a pump station. Administrator Stanley described the request and Council Member Bishop Johnnie McLendon moved first to approve, then amended his motion to take the request as information only and forward it to the Finance Committee for consideration; Vice-Chair Smallwood seconded the referral and it passed unanimously. The Finance Committee will review the proposed property transfer and return a recommendation to full Council.
The council entered executive session under S.C. Code §30-4-70(a)(2) to discuss negotiations and privileged legal advice related to the county Detention Center, County Attorney Coleman R. Bryant advised; council members later voted to exit executive session and forwarded that matter to the Building Committee. No votes or motions were taken during executive session other than to exit.
Other routine business included unanimous approval of meeting minutes from Jan. 5 and Jan. 20, signing of bonds and payroll authorizations, and the meeting’s adjournment at 6:42 p.m.
What’s next: The Finance Committee will review the CCRWC land-transfer request. Council said it will recognize Sgt. Matthew Winburn at the March meeting for his response to a Jan. 22 house fire. No additional dates for the Veterans Park project were specified at the meeting.
