Harnett County approves $7.47 million jetport contract, accepts $500,000 Golden Leaf grant and other consent items
Summary
On July 6 the Harnett County Board approved a $7,470,000 bid award and related ordinance amendment for the Harnett Regional Jetport corporate area development project, accepted a $500,000 Golden Leaf Foundation grant, and approved multiple county contracts and grants on the consent agenda.
The Harnett County Board of Commissioners on July 6 approved a package of actions that included awarding a $7,470,000 contract for the Harnett Regional Jetport corporate area development project and accepting a $500,000 Golden Leaf Foundation grant for the same project.
The board approved awarding the project bid to Fred Smith Company for $7,470,000 and separately approved an amendment to the project ordinance for the corporate area development work. The Harnett Regional Jetport also received authorization to accept $500,000 in grant funding from the Golden Leaf Foundation for corporate area development.
In addition to jetport items, the board approved a library agreement with the NC Cardinal Consortium and a contract with Alliance Health, and accepted $847,530 in Home and Community Block Grant funding from the Mid-Carolina Area Agency on Aging, with authorization for the chairman to sign the associated contract.
The county manager’s report noted several contracts that exceed the manager’s signature threshold; the board approved allowing the chairman to sign those contracts. The meeting recap also states that action on a county budget ordinance did not occur because the governor had not yet signed the enabling bill.
The transcript recap does not give movers, seconds or vote tallies for the approvals; each item is recorded as “approved” in the meeting record provided. The board scheduled its next meeting for July 14 at 9:00 a.m.
