At the October 6, 2026, regular meeting and public hearing of the Baker County Board of County Commissioners, the board approved individual CDBG housing construction bids. Clearly identifiable awards included Power Construction for $139,500 (Curry home), HCA Construction for $153,373 (three-bedroom home), Powell Construction for $131,500 (Wood home), and Power Construction for $23,500 (Dunham rehabilitation); another home award was approved, but the contractor and amount are unclear in the transcript. Staff reported about $53,850.50 remaining in the construction budget and $11,250 in administration funds, with a possible additional rehabilitation project subject to available funds and a later agreement modification. The board also approved a three-year auditing engagement with Malden and Jenkins; year one is $139,000, compared with the current $98,000 budget, and staff plans to bring forward a $41,000 budget amendment.

The board approved adding $900,000 in Phase II state funding to the courthouse appropriation agreement and a $191,059.62 task work order with North Florida Professional Services for engineering and related work, beginning with investigation of courthouse roof leaks. It also approved a temporary construction easement for the County Road 120 bridge replacement, with no county financial obligation. Staff reported FEMA funding had arrived for the boat-ramp project, though no amount was stated. Other discussion included the school-zone safety program, county permitting software, and land-use matters; no additional procurement awards were identified in those discussions.
