Henrico supervisors approve EDA bond and multiple construction, sewer and trail contracts

The Henrico County Board of Supervisors approved a package of bond and contract measures at its meeting, including authorization for Economic Development Authority bonds, multiple construction contracts and a property acquisition for flood mitigation.

Director of Economic Development Tratina told the board the resolution would authorize issuance of multifamily housing revenue bonds through the Economic Development Authority “in the amount not to exceed $7,500,000” for the benefit of Carter Woods 4, LLC, an affiliate of the Better Housing Coalition. Tratina said Carter Woods 4 will use the proceeds to finance part of the cost to develop a 53‑unit multifamily housing facility with a community center near the intersection of 9 Mile and Dabbs House Road and that the authority serves as a conduit; she said approval “does not create a financial obligation for either the county or the authority.” The board approved the measure on motion.

On infrastructure, the board awarded a fixed‑price contract of $23,922,000 to W.M. Slosser Company Inc. for the Westwood Sewage Pumping Station, a project described by staff as replacing the existing station and increasing capacity from 0.8 million gallons per day to 5.2 MGD. Staff said work is anticipated to begin in June and be completed within 820 calendar days; the board approved the award.

The board also approved a $2,497,475 fixed‑price contract to Mueller Incorporated for the Mary Street sewer replacement project, which staff said will replace about 3,000 linear feet of 8‑inch gravity sewer along Mary Street with work beginning in May and completing within 360 calendar days.

For parks and facilities, the board authorized annual architectural and engineering contracts with Dewberry Engineers Inc., Gordon USA LLC, and Venice Hagen Brusselin Inc. for recreation and parks improvement projects. Presenter Zanino said the contracts run one year with potential renewal for three additional one‑year terms; per‑project fees will not exceed $2,500,000 and total project fees in any one‑year term will not exceed $10,000,000. The board approved those awards.

The board approved a construction‑manager‑at‑risk award for the new Department of Social Services building in the Brookland District to Horrigan Construction Company after staff said the firm was selected through the county procurement process.

A unit‑price contract of $6,000,484 was approved for Sagres Construction Corporation to build a 1.1‑mile, 12‑foot shared‑use Fall Line Trail segment at Villa Park, including ADA ramps and stormwater management; staff said the project is entirely funded by CVTA and is expected to begin in April 2026 with completion within 400 calendar days.

The board also approved a resolution authorizing acquisition of 2301 Homeview Drive for drainage and flood mitigation; staff said Hazelwood 21 LLC agreed to sell the property for $56,300.

All listed items were presented by county staff, recommended by the relevant directors and concurred by the county manager, and were approved on motion during the meeting. The meeting record shows no roll‑call tallies by name in the transcript; items were approved after standard motion/second and voice vote procedures.
