Franklin County selects construction manager and architect for animal control building; one commissioner objects to management hire
Loading...
Summary
The commission approved hiring Gary Clardy for construction management services for the county animal control building; the board also approved Goodwyn Mills Cawood as architect. A single 'no' vote was recorded on the construction management motion.
Franklin County commissioners voted July 17 to advance the county animal control building project by approving a construction manager and a contract for architectural services.
A motion to approve Gary Clardy to provide construction management services passed with one recorded dissent (Commissioner Charles Keller). The minutes note a discrepancy on the agenda date that the board corrected on a separate motion. The board then approved Goodwyn Mills Cawood as the architecture firm to provide design services for the animal control building.
County materials in the packet describe the roles: the construction manager will support the county during bidding and construction oversight; the architect will prepare construction documents and provide design oversight. Commissioners approved the mayor to negotiate and execute agreements as recorded under Resolutions 7g‑0723 and 7h‑0723.
Commission records show the construction management vote passed with a single 'no' recorded and the architecture contract passed by voice vote.
