Commissioners award $8.78 million Senior/VA facility bid, approve $6.59 million funding revision
Summary
The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners unanimously awarded the Senior/VA facility construction bid to Place Services, Inc. for $8,776,634 and approved a $6,593,288 fund-balance budget revision and an amended grant capital project ordinance to fund the project.
The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners unanimously voted Aug. 18 to award the construction contract for a Senior/VA facility to Place Services, Inc., the lowest bidder, and to approve related funding changes.
Chairman Dr. Dan Eichenbaum moved to award the Senior/VA project bid to Place Services, Inc.; the motion passed without opposition. The low bid was recorded at $8,776,634. The board then approved a budget revision using $6,593,288 in fund balance to finance the project and passed an amended Grant Capital Project Ordinance to reflect the change.
County staff presented the award and the funding package as a coordinated set of actions: the bid award establishes the contractor, the fund-balance revision supplies county financing, and the amended ordinance adjusts capital accounting for the grant-funded portions. Commissioners voted on the package as separate motions but adopted each unanimously.
The board did not discuss contractor selection details in the minutes beyond naming the low bidder and approving the financial actions. No speakers from Place Services, Inc. were recorded in the minutes, and no public speakers addressed this item during the meeting.
Next steps recorded in the minutes indicate administrative action to implement the award and incorporate the project into the county’s capital project accounting; no contract execution dates or construction timelines were specified in the minutes.
