Knott County approves FEMA contractor invoices; staff reports pre‑bid showing for King Creek drill project

Knott County Fiscal Court approved contractor invoices tied to FEMA projects during its May 7, 2024 Zoom meeting and received a staff update on an upcoming bid award for a King Creek project.

An unidentified speaker reviewed several contractor and FEMA invoice items included in members’ packets and asked members to check their email for details. Kevin Wallace is recorded as moving to approve the invoices and Brent Smith is recorded as seconding; the court voted in the affirmative.

After the formal votes, staff provided a pre‑bid update: three contractors attended the site showing for a King Creek drilling project and bidders mentioned included Henkel Environmental and Blue Rock. The speaker said the county expects to award the bid on Friday morning and noted the project is approved through the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and partially NRCS‑funded.

The meeting did not include contract award language beyond the approval of invoices and the pre‑bid report; the court asked staff to relay packet details and email missing materials to members.
