Board approves multiple contracts, infrastructure acceptances and a recruiting agreement
Summary
At its May 6 meeting the Greenwood Board approved a slate of routine procurement and infrastructure items including tire and sign vendor contracts, a K9 purchase and training, forensic‑software renewal, subdivision acceptance actions, a CCMG change order of $64,900.13, and authorization to hire a recruiter for vacant engineering positions.
The Greenwood Board of Public Works and Safety approved an array of routine procurement and administration actions at its May 6 meeting, covering public‑safety equipment, city maintenance contracts, subdivision acceptances and professional services.
Key approvals included: contracts with three tire suppliers (not to exceed $50,000 total, split across departments); sign‑provider contracts (not to exceed $50,000); purchase and training of a police K9 and handler (approximately $21,000 after an $8,000 discount and two $4,000 donations); sale of 10 surplus Remington 870 shotguns at $150 each; annual renewal of Magnet Forensics phone‑extraction software; and a small ($~$5,000) additional allowance for carpet replacement at the justice center. The board also accepted subdivision infrastructure for Safe Fire section two and Logistics Park South subject to outstanding conditions and performance guarantees, and approved release of maintenance guarantees for the Aldi site on State Road 135 following final inspection.
Engineering presented a change order to the 2024 CCMG partial reconstruction project — an increase of $64,900.13 (bringing total overages to $69,850.13, a 3.2% increase) — which the board approved. The board also authorized the mayor or deputy mayor to sign a sanitary sewer special agreement for the Party Pack Liquor site and Sports Crossing subdivision once the document is prepared and approved by legal, sanitation and engineering.
Finally, because the city engineer position has been vacant for about a year and project manager position for two months, the board approved a direct‑hire recruiting services agreement with Apex Systems LLC (doing business as Cyber Coders) to assist with candidate searches. Most motions were moved, seconded and recorded as passed; the transcript does not list individual roll‑call tallies for these routine approvals.
