Dawson County approves $212,500 contract for War Hill Park fishing pier
Summary
Commissioners voted to award IFB #466-24 for materials and labor to build a fishing pier at War Hill Park at a stated amount of $212,500 to be funded from SPLOST; the board heard that potential third-party reimbursement is being explored and that additions like a cover could be priced later.
Dawson County commissioners voted to award IFB #466-24 for materials and labor to construct a fishing pier at War Hill Park at a stated contract amount of $212,500. The chair listed the procurement and a motion to award the IFB carried by voice vote (recorded in the transcript as 4–0).
During discussion, a commissioner said they had a conference call with Dr. McCormick's office about potential funding that "could reimburse us for this," though the transcript records no commitment of reimbursement. A commissioner asked whether adding a cover to the pier could be included; staff said a covering could be added later and that they would provide pricing when available. Funding for the project was stated in the transcript as coming from "Spla 7"/"Splash 7," which is inconsistent; the likely intended funding source in Georgia local capital projects is SPLOST (Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax); the article uses the corrected acronym SPLOST where the transcript appears garbled.
The board did not record additional scope details on the public record at the time of the vote. The IFB award authorizes procurement to proceed at the approved amount and funding source, subject to contract completion and any necessary follow-up.
