REQUEST FOR EXEMPTION FROM LOCAL POLICY

On behalf of Mr. Robert Marsh, Maintenance Director, the County Manager requested the waiver of the County’s local policy requiring three (3) bids for informal projects as defined by the North Carolina General Statutes.  The County will be requesting bids to be submitted and opened on September 10, 2019, for the West Annex (Cooperative Extension Building) culvert replacement project which is on an aggressive schedule to meet the trout stream moratorium that takes place from October 15 through April 15.  In the event that three (3) bids are not received the project would be delayed until after April to comply with the trout stream moratorium as there would not be ample time to re-advertise and award the bid.  This could potentially add additional cost to the project and also lose the potential bids already submitted.

 

Discussion was held regarding the timing of the project and what would happen if the bids received were not in an acceptable range.  County Manager Geouque stated that the bids could not be requested until the engineer drew the plans for the culvert.  Mr. Geouque also stated that a contract would be presented at the September 17 meeting for consideration by the Board.

 

Commissioner Turnbow, seconded by Vice-Chairman Kennedy, moved to waive the County policy requiring three (3) bids for informal projects, as long as at least two (2) bids are received, in order to allow for the project to be completed before the trout stream moratorium becomes effective October 15.

 

VOTE:  Aye-4(Welch, Kennedy, Turnbow, Wallin)

             Nay-1(Yates)

At the August 22nd Vaya Health Board meeting, the resolution opposing continued cuts to single stream funding for MH/IDD/SU individuals was adopted.  The same resolution will be shared with Vaya Health County Commissioner Advisory Board (CCAB) as well as Consumer and Family Advisory Committee (CFAC) for consideration of adoption.  Vaya is requesting individual counties to consider passing a similar resolution.  If the resolution is passed and adopted, Vaya is requesting a copy in order to forward to the General Assembly.

 

Commissioner Wallin stated that the funding cuts directly affect Social Services as well.  Commissioner Wallin stated that a meeting is being planned in Western North Carolina to further discuss the funding cuts with Departments of Social Services.

 

Vice-Chairman Kennedy, seconded by Commissioner Wallin, moved to adopt the resolution as presented.
