The Bulloch County Board of Commissioners, after cancelling its regular meeting Tuesday of last week in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, has called a special, public meeting for 4 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 10, in the usual meeting room at the North Main Annex.
One of the “new business” items is the proposed award of a contract to Southern Disposal Recovery, or SDR, for removal of storm debris from county-maintained public right of ways and county property for a “not to exceed” price of $3 million. Actual fees will be based on specific work and measured volume of debris.
A separate contract is proposed to go to Thompson Consulting Inc. for debris removal monitoring services so that the county can qualify with the Federal Emergency Management Agency for reimbursement of the costs.
Statesboro City Council on Oct. 1 approved a “not to exceed” $1 million contract with SDR for debris removal in the city limits, and on Oct. 3 approved a “not to exceed” $300,000 contract with Thompson Consulting for monitoring services.
Other items on Thursday’s county agenda are mostly routine and carried over from the cancelled Oct. 1 meeting, but no zoning items are scheduled for the special meeting.
