Commission moves forward on Little Texas Safe Room grant; single bid received
Summary
Commissioners debated the Little Texas Safe Room grant across meetings and accepted a single bid from Aqua Marine Inc. (Hartsville) for $99,850.00; the board authorized moving forward pending county attorney review and bid reception at the December meeting.
The Macon County Commission considered the Little Texas Safe Room grant application and procurement over several meetings. Commissioner Elise Tolbert requested a full application review and to defer final action; when that motion failed for lack of a second, Commissioner Miles Robinson moved to approve the grant package contingent on county attorney review and to request bids with a December 9, 2024 receipt date.
At the March 10, 2025 meeting commissioners recorded receipt of one bid from Aqua Marine Inc., Hartsville in the amount of $99,850.00 for the Little Texas Safe Room. The motion to accept/receive the bid was moved by Commissioner Robinson and carried by unanimous vote. The minutes indicate the commission intended to review contract documents with the county attorney before final execution.
The action advances a FEMA/state grant procurement and sets the bid figure recorded in the minutes.
