Board approves Nags Head EMS guaranteed maximum price and authorizes contract execution
Summary
The board amended the capital project ordinance for the Nags Head EMS station and approved a Barnhill guaranteed maximum price (GMP) of $10.692 million (project total roughly $13.18M); the county manager was authorized to sign the contract after approvals.
The board approved a capital‑project ordinance amendment to budget the Nags Head EMS station project and accepted a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) proposal from Barnhill Contracting. The GMP presented to the board was $10,692,212 and the project budget (including fees and issuance costs) was approximately $13.18 million.
Staff explained the funding plan uses a mix of available savings from prior issuances and a debt issuance to cover the balance. After a motion to approve the GMP, the board authorized the county manager to execute the contract and proceed with construction mobilization.
Why it matters: The Nags Head EMS station is a capital priority in the county’s five‑year CIP and the GMP approval moves the project from planning into construction procurement. Commissioners emphasized adherence to the GMP and standard construction due diligence.
Provenance: Capital project ordinance amendment and GMP approval (SEG 3513–3567).
