Board awards $25,082 clock-tower renovation contract, approves $27,600 budget amendment
Summary
Macon County commissioners awarded a clock-tower renovation contract to Carolina Builder Services for $25,082.41 plus a 10% contingency and approved a $27,600 budget amendment from contingency; board also authorized tree removals near sidewalks.
The Macon County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously on Jan. 14 to award a clock-tower renovation contract to Carolina Builder Services in the amount of $25,082.41, with a 10% contingency, and approved a budget amendment of $27,600 from contingency to cover the work, Mr. Morgan reported.
Commissioner Shearl moved to accept the recommendation and the appropriation, Commissioner Breeden seconded, and the motion carried without opposition. Morgan also provided a handout identifying trees that are damaging sidewalks around the square; the board authorized Morgan to coordinate tree removal logistics and accepted Town of Franklin assistance for that work.
Why it matters: The project restores a visible public asset and addresses sidewalk safety concerns identified by staff and commissioners; the budget amendment draws from contingency funds and was approved by the board.
Next steps: Contract administration and tree-removal logistics will be handled by county staff in coordination with the Town of Franklin.
