- Description:On February 13, 2021, a catastrophic ice storm devastated the Town of Blackstone causing substantial damage to trees and other property. The property damage was catastrophic and required immediate attention. The Town’s employees worked to clear the roads. The situation caused an immediate threat to the safety of the Town’s Citizens and property. At which time I determined that the removal of debris and the restoration of the welfare of the citizens could not wait until formal purchasing procedures could be completed. The repairs and restoration were mandatory and an emergency. The repairs and restoration were completed between the dates of February 25, 2021, onward.
This contract is being awarded on an emergency basis. On February 25, 2021, the Town entered into a contract with Medek Tree Service, Inc. of Mechanicsville, Virginia to remove and haul brush from the Town of Blackstone. The Town consulted with contractors that specialized in brush removal and obtained three competitive bids. The firm was selected because it is the lowest bid at $8.75 a cubic yard. It is estimated that the amount of the contract may be up to $180,000.
