Halifax supervisors approve fencing and container purchases for solid-waste sites

The Halifax County Board of Supervisors approved two procurement items to complete work at the county’s convenience centers.

First, the board approved change order #5 for Carrington Bravo (vendor name in packet) in the amount of $32,700 to replace fencing and perform tree work at the South Boston convenience center as part of site completion. The motion carried by voice vote.

During discussion supervisors noted a need for an oil-disposal tank after an attendant observed a customer discarding a five-gallon oil container in the recycling area. Staff were directed to follow up with Mr. Harold to determine whether the county will purchase a tank or arrange for vendor-provided pumping and storage.

Separately, the board approved purchase of five roll-off container boxes from Baker's Waste Equipment LLC for $31,400.91 to support expanded trash compaction units in South Boston and Scottsburg. That motion also carried by voice vote.

Both procurement actions were presented as separate vendor items in the packet; the board approved them as distinct vendor approvals.
