Commission directs staff to prepare bid package for Veterans Community Center should $9M federal funding arrive
Summary
Commissioners authorized staff to compile grant compliance materials and bid documents for reconstruction of a Veterans Community Center at the former Golden Gate Golf Course after a congressman indicated $9 million was in a House budget request, directing the county to be ready should funds be approved.
The board approved an add‑on Jan. 27 asking staff to begin preparing grant compliance materials and a bid package for reconstruction of a Veterans Community Center at the former Golden Gate Golf Course, in anticipation of approximately $9 million requested in the U.S. House appropriations process.
Commissioner Saunders said staff and congressional contacts indicated the amount was included in a House budget request; timing and final availability depend on federal appropriations, he said, but the county should be ready to move quickly. Saunders asked staff to assemble an architect and engineer procurement package and ensure compliance with federal grant requirements so the county can proceed promptly if federal funds are awarded.
The board moved and seconded the item and approved giving staff the direction to prepare documents and coordination for grant compliance and procurement.
Next step: staff will prepare procurement and compliance documents so the county can respond promptly if/when federal funds are confirmed.
