Board adopts build-operate-transfer resolutions to advance Jefferson Proving Ground campground project
Summary
The county adopted two resolutions (2026-13 and 2026-14) authorizing the use of Indiana Code 5-23 build-operate-transfer (BOT) procurement for the Jefferson Proving Ground campground project and for future projects, and authorized issuing RFP/RFQs and forming an evaluation committee; staff said RDA funding must be spent by August 2028.
Jefferson County commissioners adopted Resolution 2026-13 on July 9 to authorize use of Indiana Code 5-23's build-operate-transfer (BOT) procurement method for the Jefferson Proving Ground campground project at 101 West JPG Ordinance Drive in Madison. Staff read the resolution aloud; it authorizes issuing a request for proposals/qualifications (RFP/RFQ), forming an evaluation committee, holding required public hearings, and requiring bonds and transfer terms consistent with the BOT statute. Staff told the board the RDA has pledged funding that must be spent by August 2028.
The board then adopted Resolution 2026-14 to broadly adopt Indiana Code 5-23 for future projects and to authorize formation of an RFPQ committee for subsequent procurements. Commissioners moved, seconded, and recorded affirmative 'aye' votes to adopt both resolutions. Staff emphasized the BOT method is optional—one procurement route among others—and that a public hearing and additional approvals (including fiscal-body review if terms exceed five years) would be required before awarding a BOT transaction.
