A contract for a new feasibility study for a county hospital/24-hour heath care facility is half way to being executed.
At Valencia County Commission meeting last month, county purchasing agent Rustin Porter told commissioners there were âsix good respondentsâ to the request for proposal the commission approved for a new study in June.
While the county received $20,000 from the Legislature to fund the study, Rustin said the contractor the county was negotiating with put the cost of the study at $158,294.
County Manager Danny Monette said when the commission authorized the RFP for a new study, the county requested $100,000 from the Legislature.
