Summary
The Liberty County Commissioners Court approved hiring Pape and Dawson to provide engineering services in support of the county's CDBG-DR application to the Texas General Land Office; commissioners said staff and the committee vetted proposals before the vote.
The Liberty County Commissioners Court on March 23 approved awarding a contract to Pape and Dawson for engineering services tied to the county's Community Development Block Grant—Disaster Recovery application to the Texas General Land Office (DR-4781 and DR-4798).
The chair introduced the second agenda item, and Gerald (Commissioner, Precinct 4) said he had no additional comments and would "respect the wishes of the committee" regarding the recommended engineering firm. Bayle Wick, who served on the review committee, said she was confident in the rankings and the committee's work.
Bruce moved to award the engineering contract to Pape and Dawson and the motion was seconded; after a voice vote the chair declared the motion carried. The transcript records Gerald saying "Aye" during the vote; the court did not provide a roll-call tally in the record.
Harold (staff member) told the court that proposals and qualifications submitted "were all good" and that staff had contacted top-rated firms to confirm they were still interested. The court concluded this agenda item by directing staff to finalize contract execution with the chosen engineering firm.
The meeting adjourned following the vote.
