Summary
Simpson County Fiscal Court on July 2 unanimously approved a $2.64 million contract with Sunbelt Construction to build a combined County Clerk and Property Valuation Administrator (PVA) office; the court authorized signatures and heard questions from the project architect before voting.
County Judge Executive Mason Barnes and the Simpson County Fiscal Court voted July 2 to award a $2,640,000 contract to Sunbelt Construction for construction of a combined County Clerk and Property Valuation Administrator building.
During the discussion architect Chris Spurr of Spurr Architecture, PLLC, was present to answer questions from magistrates about the bids and the proposed project. After discussion Magistrate Marty Chandler moved and Magistrate Scott Poston seconded the motion to authorize the contract and to allow the Judge Executive to sign. The motion passed unanimously.
The contract award covers construction of the county office building; the minutes record the contract amount and the authorization to execute whatever signatures are necessary to proceed. The fiscal court’s action follows bid review and clarifies the county’s selected contractor for the project.
The county did not state a project timeline or detailed budget phasing in the minutes. County officials authorized contract signatures and will proceed with the procurement process required to begin construction under the awarded contract.
The court handled the procurement vote as part of its routine business session; no formal motions to amend the contract terms were recorded in the minutes. The next procedural steps in the minutes are signature authorization by the Judge Executive and any other signatures required to finalize the contract.
