Ben Hill County ratifies selection of Arrow Engineering for possible 2021 CDBG project
Summary
The commission ratified a prior telephone vote to select Arrow Engineering as the project engineer for a potential 2021 Community Development Block Grant application; the county was secondary on a 2020 CDBG and three proposals were received. The transcript gives no contract value.
The Ben Hill County Commission ratified its Oct. 21 telephone poll on Nov. 3, formally selecting Arrow Engineering as the project engineer if the county proceeds with a 2021 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application. Commissioner John Mooney moved to ratify the earlier telephone decision; Vice‑Chair Hope Harmon seconded and the motion passed 4‑0.
County Manager Michael Dinnerman explained the county may be eligible to apply for the 2021 CDBG because it was listed as secondary on the 2020 CDBG for the Monitor Center. He said the county received three engineering proposals by the 2 p.m. deadline on Sept. 8, 2020, and that Arrow Engineering received the highest score in the county’s review. The commissioners were polled by phone on Oct. 21 to select Arrow Engineering and the Nov. 3 vote ratified that selection.
The transcript records procedural details of the selection—proposal deadlines, scoring and the telephone poll—but does not include contract terms, fee proposals or a project schedule. The county must still complete any grant application and, if awarded, negotiate a contract with Arrow Engineering.
