POLICY: To establish a policy for work requested on construction projects and repair projects from the Houston County School Board, Volunteer Fire Departments, or other entities (as determined by the Houston County Commission).
PROCEDURE: The Volunteer Fire Departments in Houston County, the Houston County Volunteer Firefighters Association, or other entities, as determined by the Houston County Commission, shall pay for materials, with the exception of dirt, with the County supplying the labor and equipment on requested construction projects. This is after a written request is received from the entity and approved by the Houston County Commission. This policy does not include work done on or related to any utility.
Projects for governmental entities for which materials will cost $2,500 or less will be done after written request is made and approved by the County Engineer. A copy of request will be furnished to the Commission in the monthly report given to the Commission furnished by the County Engineer.
All projects for non-governmental entities, such as Landmark Park and the National Peanut Festival, will only be done after approval by the County Commission in a regular or called meeting of the Commission, except that projects for which materials will cost $2,500 or less will be done after written request is made and approved by the County Engineer. A copy of the request will be furnished to the Commission in the monthly report given to the Commission by the County Engineer.
This policy replaces the prior policies for work requested by Houston County School Board, Volunteer Fire Department or other Entities.
This policy shall become effective as of the 1st day of October, 2021.
