Port Deposit approves Wood Valley project-management contract and KCI award for Marina Park TAP grant
Summary
The council approved a project-management contract with Wood Valley Community Strategies for Jamie Kendrick at approximately $1,200 per month, and awarded the TAP Grant engineering contract for Marina Park to KCI after reviewing three proposals; both votes were unanimous.
During the June 17 work session, the Town of Port Deposit approved two contract actions aimed at supporting grant applications and park improvements.
Town Administrator Vicky Rinkerman presented a project management services contract with Wood Valley Community Strategies to secure Jamie Kendrick's assistance. Rinkerman said the contract averages $1,200 per month for about eight hours of work and includes one on-site meeting per month; Kendrick is assisting with the TAP and Safe Streets grant efforts. Councilwoman Thiele moved to approve the contract, Councilman Berlin seconded, and the motion carried unanimously.
Rinkerman also presented three proposals for engineering work related to the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) Grant for Marina Park and reported the group selected KCI's proposal. Councilman Berlin moved to approve the KCI contract award and Councilwoman Thiele seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
Why it matters: The project-management contract provides dedicated local support for grant development and administration. The KCI award moves design/engineering for Marina Park improvements forward, contingent on TAP Grant funding and subsequent contract execution.
Both approvals were unanimous; staff will coordinate next steps on contract onboarding and grant deliverables.
