Harford County awards $438,900 contract for Aberdeen Proving Ground readiness review
Summary
The Board of Estimates approved $438,900 to HR Green to run research and table-top exercises addressing frequency spectrum conflicts, flooding compatibility and encroachment concerns related to Aberdeen Proving Ground.
The Harford County Board of Estimates unanimously approved a contract on Feb. 24 to hire HR Green to conduct an Installation Readiness Review and related table-top exercises for Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG).
Karen Holt of the Department of Economic Development told the Board the consultant will provide research, analysis and facilitate exercises designed to identify unresolved or new readiness challenges and recommend implementation strategies. Holt said the readiness concerns to be addressed include "frequency spectrum, compatibility between on/off post flooding, and encroachment." The Department recommended awarding Solicitation No. 26-154 to HR Green of Tempe, Arizona for $438,900 under Section 41-25 of the Harford County Code.
Treasurer Robert Sandlass moved the recommendation and Joseph Siemek seconded; the Board recorded the motion as unanimously approved.
Why it matters: Aberdeen Proving Ground is a major federal installation that can be affected by land-use, infrastructure and spectrum compatibility issues. The county framed the contract as a proactive review to identify risks and develop mitigation strategies.
The contract award in the transcript does not specify a project schedule, reporting cadence, or required deliverables beyond the general description of research, analysis and table-top exercises.
