Summary
Council approved a municipal order for construction of Lane Runs Business Park Phase 3, funded in part by KPDI rounds with local matches; Raine Contracting was named the lowest responsive, responsible bidder and council heard that the city and county already have local interest in the phase.
The Georgetown City Council voted to approve a municipal order authorizing construction of Lane Runs Business Park Phase 3 after staff said the project is funded through state KPDI rounds and local matches.
City engineer Stacy Clark told council the first KPDI round provided $1,500,000 with $500,000 contributions each from Scott County, the city of Georgetown and Scott County United; a second round totaled roughly $900,000 with smaller local matches. She said Raine Contracting was the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on the construction contract.
Jack Connor, representing the Chamber and Scott County United/Business Park Authority, told council there is immediate private-sector interest in phase 3 and that maps and marketing materials are ready for prospective users. “We already have interest,” Connor said, describing client visits and inquiries timed to fit the project timeline.
Councilmember Hampton made the motion to approve the municipal order; it was seconded and approved by voice vote. The order authorizes staff to proceed with contract execution with the lowest responsive bidder and to use the identified KPDI and local match funds for the construction phase.
The council also heard routine committee updates tied to infrastructure projects (Main Street rehab bid schedule, sidewalk designs) and the engineer confirmed that necessary streets and utilities will be completed and turned over to the city as phases come online.
