Camden County approves 10-year IGSA with Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, potential $25M annual ceiling
Summary
The board approved a 10-year intergovernmental support agreement (IGSA) with Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay to provide facility sustainment and modernization services; the agreement could allow up to $25 million per year in work and aims to create vendor opportunities and administrative revenue for county public works.
The Camden County Board of Commissioners approved a proposed intergovernmental support agreement (IGSA) with the commanding officer of Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay to expand county services that support base infrastructure.
Public Works staff said the IGSA would permit the Navy to contract with the county for facility sustainment, restoration and modernization services across a wider array of categories than prior, more limited agreements. Jared, the county Public Works presenter, said the IGSA would run for 10 years with a not-to-exceed ceiling cited by the Navy of $25 million per year; the $25 million figure is a program ceiling, not a guaranteed annual payment.
County staff said the agreement is intended to streamline contracting, create bidding opportunities for local vendors and generate modest administrative and self-performance fees that can be reinvested in county public works equipment and capacity. Jared said past cooperation on paving produced measurable savings; an administrative fee on larger projects typically runs roughly 10% and lowers to about 7% for projects where the county self-performs, with reimbursement of eligible costs calculated using federal (FEMA) formulas.
The board moved, seconded and approved the IGSA. Commissioners noted the potential for local vendor participation and equipment upgrades for county crews; one commissioner described the arrangement as a “win-win” that helps the county and the Navy.
