Committee member moves to accept Kelly Tucker Jr. timber-harvest bid with contingency
Summary
At a McCreary County meeting, board members discussed five timber-harvest bids ranging $7,500–$23,000 and a motion was made to accept the $23,000 bid from Kelly Tucker Jr., contingent on required insurance and paperwork; no vote on that motion is recorded in the transcript.
A committee member moved to accept the highest timber-harvest bid of $23,000 from Kelly Tucker Jr. for a road project and proposed a contingency that the award revert to the second-highest bidder if the winning bidder failed to supply required insurance and documentation.
The recommendation to award the contract to Kelly Tucker Jr. was introduced during discussion of five bids that ranged from $7,500 to $23,000. Speaker S2 explained the county will collect the payment before work begins and that "that money will go into general fund." The committee member who moved the award said, "I'll make a motion that we accept the bid of Kelly Tucker, and, that if they do not submit the proper paperwork with insurance and things of that nature, we'll go to the next."
The transcript records the motion but does not record who seconded it or any vote on the motion. Staff and board members discussed adding contract language to require proof of insurance and to make the second-highest bidder (noted at $22,000) the fallback if the apparent winner failed to comply.
The meeting record does not show a final approval or formal contract execution in these segments. Next steps in the process were not specified in the transcript.
