Bluffton to consider $389,000 upfit contract for Building 100 during quarterly workshop

The Town of Bluffton will hold a quarterly workshop at 5 p.m. in the Henry E. McCracken Junior Council Chambers, the broadcast said. Assistant Town Manager Chris Forester is scheduled to present information about a Bluffton Performing Arts Center.

The broadcast listed a separate agenda item described as "consideration of an award of contract" to Mashburn Construction Company Inc. for the upfit of Building 100 at 97 Progressive Street, with a stated value of $389,000. The segment presented this as an agenda item for the workshop; it did not report that the council or town body voted or awarded the contract during the broadcast.

Why this matters: an upfit of an existing town-owned building and a possible performing-arts project could affect local cultural programming, facility use, and municipal capital spending. The broadcast did not provide procurement details such as contract terms, funding sources, or whether the contract award includes alternatives or change orders.

Next steps: the workshop is scheduled for tonight (per the broadcast); viewers were directed to watch full BCTV coverage for details.
