Board pauses HITM Park build pending Phase II archaeology testing; approves grant administration contract and RFP
Summary
Lincoln County paused construction of the HITM Park East Campground pending results of additional Phase II archaeological testing tied to a $50,000 grant; the board approved a DSI contract (not to exceed $3,700) to administer the grant and approved an RFP for the East Campground archaeological work.
Lisa Graphenteen, Lincoln County Director of Housing and Economic Development, updated the board on the HITM Park project and archaeology. She said the county had been awarded a $50,000 grant for a Phase II archaeological study (the fourth grant awarded for the park) but additional testing is required at the East Campground site before the county can proceed with construction of campsites and restroom/shower facilities.
Graphenteen recommended moving forward with the administrative contract and the request for proposals needed to complete the Phase II East Campground work. The board approved a DSI contract to administer the Phase II grant (not to exceed $3,700) and approved the RFP format (with separate fall and spring pricing options) for the Archeological Phase II East Campground Site. Graphenteen said the grant agreement had not yet been received from the State but staff may proceed with the RFP and contract administration while awaiting the formal grant agreement.
Commissioners did not vote to start campsites or building work until the additional archaeological testing is complete; the action at the July 21 meeting focused on grant administration and procurement steps.
