Washington County is looking to hire a company to provide construction management services for the building of a new communications center.

At Tuesday’s Washington County Board of Supervisors meeting, a discussion was held on a contract with Carl A. Nelson and Company to provide such services. Washington County Attorney John Gish said he reviewed the contract but still has some items that need to be clarified, “My biggest questions were how would this be amended under what conditions, and about the expenses. I think we all want to make sure that the taxpayer fundings are closely held and closely watched, and not arbitrarily spent. So I think we just need to work with Carl A. Nelson and clearly articulate what we pay for.” Chief Deputy Shawn Ellingson said the next step is to hold a conference call with the company to iron out details before bringing the contract back to the supervisors.
