PURPOSE: To consider awarding a bid for the clearing work to be done on property owned by the
County south of the New Courthouse.
BACKGROUND: Several years ago the County purchased approximately 2.16 acres south of the New
Courthouse. The property is considerably overgrown with vegetation. In order to ensure that the
best use for the investment is realized it is necessary to clear the area of the scrub and diseased
trees as well as of the undergrowth which chokes out the desireable vegetation. This is the first step
in helping to develop the definition of what types of activities could/should occur on the property.
The Planning, Engineering and Purchasing Departments have collaborated to develop a plan which
will ensure that as little acreage as possible is disturbed while work is ongoing; as well as to identify
significant trees on the property which should not be removed. To actualize the plan, bids were
solicited from two grading contractors, Jerry McCullock Grading Company and Roy Wilkerson
Construction Company to remove the smaller trees and undergrowth from the site and to reseed the
disturbed area. The results of the solicitation are attached. Funds were reserved through the
Government Services Center Project fund to accomplish this work.
RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that a bid be awarded to Roy Wilkerson
Construction Company for a sum of$16,837.50.
