Summary & Background: The work under this project will further the existing 30% design of the Boat Rock Sanitary Sewer to an 80% design level and provide a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) to construct the improvements. This project was initiated through the petition sewer process by the surrounding community who are currently served by individual septic tanks.
Scope of Work: This project was originally awarded to Garney + Gresham Smith (Atlanta, GA) under Agenda Item No. 25‑0978 at the December 17, 2025, regular meeting. Subsequently, the Garney Companies Inc. representative advised the County that the correct contracting entity and prime contractor is Garney Companies, Inc. and that Gresham Smith is a major subconsultant, and so part of the Team, but is not a joint venture partner. As a result, the evaluation scoring was revised and the points assigned for local preference were removed because those points had been awarded because of Gresham Smith’s location. Since Gresham Smith is not a joint venture partner, the local preference points cannot be assigned. After the scoring revision, the evaluation committee’s overall top ranked proposal recommendation remains the same and Garney Companies, Inc. remains the highest‑scoring responsive proposer. The revised scoring evaluation is reflected in Exhibit #1, which is attached
