Commission approves ECS testing, copier and food-service agreements; advances jail architect work
Summary
Cheatham County approved multiple mayor’s signature items including an environmental testing agreement for a proposed highway facility (not to exceed $25,000), Tiger jail food services, RJ Young copier leases, and the jail architect contract with HFR Design; a Nov. 6 meeting with HFR was scheduled to review 21 design items.
Cheatham County commissioners approved several mayoral signature items and advanced work on the county jail project at their Oct. 21, 2019 meeting.
County Mayor Kerry McCarver presented multiple administrative agreements for signature. Commissioners voted to authorize the mayor’s signature on a Tiger agreement for jail food services and RJ Young copier agreements for the Mayor’s Office and the Veterans Service Officer (VSO) Office. Separately, the commission approved the ECS Southeast LLP services agreement to perform analysis testing on the George Boyd Road property—intended to support a proposed new highway facility—with testing costs capped at $25,000 and contingent on attorney‑approved contract edits.
The commission also approved Mayor signature on a Jail Architect agreement with HFR Design, Inc. Following that vote, County Mayor McCarver scheduled a meeting on Nov. 6, 2019 at 5 P.M. in the David McCullough Room to review 21 items of concern with HFR Design. The minutes record the vote outcomes as roll call approvals with 11 Yes, 0 No, 1 Absent on the architect agreement and related items.
There were no recorded public objections during these agenda items. The ECS testing agreement approval was specifically limited to a $25,000 not‑to‑exceed amount and subject to County Attorney review and approval of any contract modifications before signature.
The next procedural step recorded in the minutes is the Nov. 6 meeting to review jail design items with the architect and staff; the minutes do not record further schedule or budget details for subsequent design phases.
