During a recent Fayette County Commissioners’ meeting, a resolution was adopted that allows $5,777 of the local “CARES Act” funds to be allocated to the Fayette County Agricultural Society.
The payment comes from federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) funds that the county received and is supposed to distribute to local entities for such purposes. The agricultural society applied for funding for COVID-19-related disinfection services. The services are for the Fayette County Fairgrounds where the Fayette County Fair was held last week.
A second resolution that was adopted authorizes a sub-grant agreement to be entered into between the Greater Ohio Workforce, Area 7 Chief Elected Officials Consortium, and the Chief Elected Officials.
The purpose of the sub-agreement is to bind the above parties together and to set the terms for how the above parties will work together to provide comprehensive, business-driven workforce development services.
There were two proposals recently accepted.
The first proposal was from PDS Systems for an NFS-320 intelligent fire alarm panel to be used in the Fayette County Administration Building.
The second proposal was accepted from CT Consultants for a maximum cost of $11,188. This proposal is for civil engineering services in relation to a Culpepper Subdivision Corrosion Control Improvement Project.
Three contracts were recently entered into.
The first of the contracts was with Cox Paving for the 2020 Fayette County and Township Paving Program, the total cost being $585,910 for the county portion and $ 324,760 for the township portion.
The second of the three contracts approved was between Fayette County Department of Job and Family Services (FCDJFS), the Fayette County Board of Developmental Disabilities, Help Me Grow, and Early Intervention Service Coordination.

The change orders from Granger were numbers 27, 28 and 29 overall. Number 27 increases the contract amount by $35,789. Number 28 increases the contract total by $16,930. Number 28 increases the contract by $14,934. The new total of the contract is now $21,459,096.
