Board approves amended Phase 1 environmental assessment for Echeconnee Creek Park to include additional parcel
Summary
The board approved a Terracon Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment for the Echeconnee Creek Park property, amending the bid to $3,600 to cover an additional parcel required by the Georgia Outdoor Stewardship Program; the assessment timeline is 15 business days from notice to proceed.
Commissioner Robinson presented a bid from Terracon of Macon for a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment required for the Georgia Outdoor Stewardship Program (GOSP) grant tied to Echeconnee Creek Park. Chairman Perdue explained the scope increased because the County plans to purchase an adjacent parcel that must be covered by the assessment. The board amended the motion and approved a $3,600 contract for the Phase 1 assessment; the agreement will be funded from Professional Services and the work timeline is 15 business days from notice to proceed.
Commissioners noted the amendment reflected an increased scope rather than a change in vendor; no objection to proceeding was recorded. The assessment is a second-level requirement for a GOSP grant application and is a necessary step before moving forward with park acquisition and grant compliance.
