Barry County panel recommends Frederick Construction as construction manager for new Commission on Aging facility
Summary
The Committee of the Whole on June 18 recommended that the Board of Commissioners approve a standard-form agreement with Frederick Construction to provide construction management services for a new Barry County Commission on Aging facility; the committee vote was unanimous among members present.
The Barry County Committee of the Whole voted June 18 to recommend that the Board of Commissioners approve a Standard Form of Agreement with Frederick Construction, Inc. for construction management services on the new Barry County Commission on Aging (COA) facility.
Courtney Ziny presented the proposed agreement to the committee. Commissioner Catherine Getty moved and Commissioner David Hatfield seconded the motion to recommend Board approval; the motion carried with all voting in favor and Commissioner Mike Callton recorded as absent.
The recommendation moves the county one step closer to selecting a construction manager for the COA project; the committee record shows no amendments to the contract language during the discussion. Members of the public raised related concerns during the public-comment period, including questions about the COA site location and figures from a COA fact sheet distributed to commissioners. Sheryl Lewis-Blake thanked commissioners for their continued support of the COA building project, and Gary White referenced numbers in the circulated fact sheet.
Chair David Jackson said he believes the COA project "will be a gem and a model for others to follow," signaling the committee's overall support. The committee's recommendation will be considered by the full Board of Commissioners at a subsequent meeting; the minutes record does not specify the date when the Board will act on the agreement.
Provenance: The committee motion recommending adoption of the Frederick Construction agreement appears in the meeting record at SEG 013; Chair Jackson's supportive remark appears later in the minutes at SEG 017.
