The project covers 2.36 miles of work including milling, patching, leveling and rubber-modified plant-mix resurfacing on two county roads in Commission Post 3: Angham Road and Arnold Lane. \"PCDOT has reviewed the 5 bids and recommends awarding to the lowest reliable bidder, Bartow Paving Company in the amount of $1,110,590.27,\" DOT staff said during the presentation. The low bid was roughly 8.5% below the county estimate.

The Georgia Department of Natural Resources awarded an earlier grant of $96,500 that will pay only for the crumb-rubber additive and mixing; the county will allocate the remaining project balance from SPLOST (Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax) road funds. The DOT presentation cited industry studies that adding crumb rubber to asphalt can improve rutting resistance, reduce fatigue cracking and extend pavement life, and noted a secondary environmental benefit of reusing scrap tires rather than sending them to landfills.

Staff confirmed five bids were received and that DOT used Georgia state contract pricing where applicable for related equipment purchases. The transcript records the recommendation to award but does not record a final vote to execute the contract during the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","BOC Work Session Meeting - 06/10/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Paulding County DOT recommended awarding the FY25 asphalt project using ground tire rubber-modified asphalt to Bartow Paving Company for $1,110,590.27; a Georgia Department of Natural Resources grant of $96,500 will cover the crumb-rubber additive cost, with remaining funds from SPLOST.","taxTitle","Paulding County, Georgia","taxId",12823,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6206187,"Paulding County seeks nearly $700,000 GMP increase for Northeast Loop transmission main; route change requires creek boring",153,3758000,3911000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3765238-29018d61de5a312d297a081de94db6f1&start=3758&end=3911","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3765238-29018d61de5a312d297a081de94db6f1/thumbnail_3758000.jpg","/articles/6206187/Paulding-County/Georgia/Paulding-County-seeks-nearly-700000-GMP-increase-for-Northeast-Loop-transmission-main-route-change-requires-creek-boring","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6206187-2560aec6fa71d6b68a411ac6cdd20e7c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771086160&Signature=Zjcip8lPcxgD1reTYJUotK0pBVUSGNblWdzNS7yDhIc1lC6kkqIAXgVzSFg8lowgIE4PNRXJbZhEtCeCQMYGgn5rrW8Ul3sV2LAJhk5MvYemTjL-f07JKzteFVvX7lTtxqUfHTtHB3P3lCUEemljbqsGE5EoNV-qEGk5TAeaKROYJuxwTBDdIGGbXYQhQtvd6Cc6hkZsx9KGOboARwCPsZUpMQlC9Ng5OtWjZUcZlDSALG6DFnwQTYky-R5TSiPph0T7zaDgBVJGJMpEPBkgt9maojD0~8MpRZgPAr7h-T98qY1fI-9SkmX9HYf7cqHtvaGYA7v6kodTTa0ml63ttA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Paulding County staff asked the board to authorize a notice to proceed and approve an increase to the guaranteed maximum price (GMP) for the Northeast Loop transmission main project after design and right-of-way changes.

\"The Richmond Creek currently supplies two-thirds of the water for the county. The transmission main will allow us to basically use 100% of water, so we'll be entirely on Paulding water,\" said the county presenter. Staff said the original alignment required multiple condemnations of commercial properties, prompting a reroute down Harmony Grove Church Road. The revised route initially proposed hanging the pipeline from a bridge, but after review with bridge designers the team concluded hanging the water main would not meet required safety factors.

To meet safety and structural requirements, staff proposed boring under the creek and placing the main roughly 25 feet underground before bringing it back up at the road shoulder. That change, staff said, increased costs. County staff asked for an increase of $699,546.08 to the GMP, bringing the not-to-exceed total to $16,670,081.08, funded from the renewal and extension fund. Staff also noted prior funding for other segments came from American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) allocations.

The transcript records staff explanation of the route change, the structural concerns that prevented hanging the main on the bridge and the requested GMP increase, but it does not include a recorded vote or final approval on the GMP increase during this meeting.

Staff said the change also allows the county to join two sections of main that are being built concurrently and covers additional structural work not included in the previous GMP.","County staff requested an increase to the guaranteed maximum price for the Northeast Loop transmission main after design changes and condemnations forced a route change; staff proposed a $699,546.08 increase and explained the need to bore under a creek rather than hang the pipeline on an existing bridge.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6206191,"Paulding County reviews 20-year transfer station contract with Capital Waste Services for Reynolds Road site",201,3276000,3477000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3765238-29018d61de5a312d297a081de94db6f1&start=3276&end=3477","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3765238-29018d61de5a312d297a081de94db6f1/thumbnail_3276000.jpg","/articles/6206191/Paulding-County/Georgia/Paulding-County-reviews-20-year-transfer-station-contract-with-Capital-Waste-Services-for-Reynolds-Road-site","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6206191-bb1b6c8b330a1debf5b0a3ec5c5c2d66/orig.mp4?Expires=1771086160&Signature=IyYpr-QUbbTMdoJ9yapnItqfNvbEbXSYFhG4asHDoJc-cNJ6kWazK~jgtnNqxReunmrQgguXI~adoNi6PXfHuSPQQdhXJbc25hrLTshV-tHHIRrLnVpwZS5bWbzYOmxJzziaPmuJf~Y7~JBC44Sjy6cO5EMf3BqhdofM7nD7p1O5Dg2t51-nSZ0N~ps1DlVaiVfjVaoyAQWBTgEMix0iVaL~wnarlseZK4YDBF2SZSbW1UagB-oqeeU9oaQW57L6d~55d1S5SGoHj-pXBVaMLaeE9xjGBMyyyECpN0R8adfhW811IYSb-tY7Er176gV4XGC6AzbjrbMMx0qdzAqVGQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Paulding County staff presented a proposed contract with Capital Waste Services LLC (CWS) to construct, operate and maintain a solid waste transfer station at the county-owned Reynolds Road site.

\"Capital Waste Services was selected to locate the transfer station here, and this contract outlines the construction operation and management of the solid waste transfer station,\" said Miss Littman, a county presenter. The county purchased the property in 2021 for $990,000 and issued an RFP in fall 2024 to lease and operate the site.

Under the contract as described to the board, CWS would build and operate the facility and pay a host fee to Paulding County; staff described a 20-year lease term with a contractual provision to reevaluate the host fee after five years. Tyler Ispe, a resident and local roll-off business owner, spoke during public participation in favor of the project, saying an additional transfer station would reduce travel times for haulers and provide business opportunities locally.

Commissioners asked for details about buffers and timelines. County staff said buffers on the south and east sides would be \"at least 50 feet, 50 to 75 feet,\" and that a stream on the north side triggers state and county stream buffers and impervious setbacks. Staff estimated the facility could open in early 2026, with a first-quarter 2026 target if construction proceeds on schedule.

County staff emphasized the site will be a transfer station (material brought in and shipped out for disposal), not a landfill. They also said Capital Waste provided documentation of the landfill(s) where transferred waste will be accepted. The transcript does not record a motion or vote to approve the contract during this meeting.

If approved, staff said the transfer station is expected to provide resident services and reduce demand at the 7 Hills transfer station; the county would receive host-fee revenue tied to the volume of trash handled.","Staff presented a 20-year contract with Capital Waste Services to construct, operate and maintain a transfer station at Reynolds Road; the transcript records discussion of buffers, host fees and an expected 2026 opening but does not show a final vote.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6206196,"Paulding County staff present comprehensive safety action plan; board asked to consider 5% annual reduction target for fatal and serious crashes",2513,1649000,4162000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3765238-29018d61de5a312d297a081de94db6f1&start=1649&end=4162","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3765238-29018d61de5a312d297a081de94db6f1/thumbnail_1649000.jpg","/articles/6206196/Paulding-County/Georgia/Paulding-County-staff-present-comprehensive-safety-action-plan-board-asked-to-consider-5-annual-reduction-target-for-fatal-and-serious-crashes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6206196-f24985bd5c43c1a584872864faad54a9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771086160&Signature=Zb9-7lXq8PErsGWljTkMMGe9tRcv5eLlKMoStXPqgNTqP-jidtJQdUx3K6ZIIl5YAtw2KaP-oE54FLEZlwXUQxYNnW1s14PPSMCjV6lJvl1Lcb5hlUTVQRFlHRmNKQN51AsdxcaWoEi0ZarMJ4xuku5~Hyt5qrVIy5IpYGdcLDy7DB1IKw809womDdBYXBxNXxxrCzNJz5zuY-5q6xpZdO5lVZ1pUHvGvTJyAxCz7O8q8ZbTNZkrdXmslb5pLHIbYuHpaBuysBtIVFBPmMoXEh4zmsz1AT1NWkbhvuCg6bdZvaZFMtYmwEdkegTw4qWjRn2s6io5zF9GmHk5x0ytLg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Paulding County commissioners heard a presentation of the county's Comprehensive Safety Action Plan and discussed a draft resolution that would set a 5% annual reduction target for fatal and serious-injury crashes on county roads.

The plan, developed by VHB with funding from a Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation, examines crash data from 2019'2023 and identifies location-specific and systemic strategies to reduce fatal and serious injuries on Paulding's roads. \"What it is is it's a targeted strategy to help guide the county and its transportation partners, to help really focus on reducing the overall number of traffic crashes across the county, but really targeting and focusing in on fatal and serious injury crashes,\" said Reagan Hammond, a planner with VHB, during the presentation.

The consultant team reported that from 2019 through 2023 Paulding County recorded a little over 22,000 crashes; 93 of those were fatal and 376 involved a serious injury. The study identified five crash types that most often produced fatal or serious outcomes: head-on crashes, single-vehicle run-off-road crashes, speed-related crashes, left-turn angle crashes and crashes occurring at night on unlit roads. The plan also maps a \"high injury network\" of road segments and intersections where a large share of serious crashes occur.

The plan contains 66 site-specific recommendations, including 23 locations inside the City of Dallas and 14 inside the City of Hiram, plus systemwide countermeasures such as improved lighting, warning beacons, delineation of curves and targeted bicycle and pedestrian improvements near schools and community destinations. \"These are the types of measures that are proven to have an impact on reducing the types of crashes that you're seeing in Paulding County,\" Hammond said.

County staff summarized eligibility requirements for SS4A funding and presented a draft resolution (Resolution 2025-16) committing the county to an eventual goal of zero roadway fatalities and serious injuries and to an interim target of a 5% annual reduction. \"To satisfy this criterion, we prepared a draft resolution to adopt a goal of 5% annual reduction for serious injury and fatal crashes on County roads,\" said county staff during the agenda presentation. The presentation noted that the plan must be posted on a publicly available website to meet SS4A requirements; staff said the project has a dedicated website and the county site will host final documentation at an appropriate time.

Commissioners and staff discussed next steps including sharing the plan with Georgia Department of Transportation partners (GDOT), using the plan for grant applications and tracking progress against the proposed target. A staff representative noted SS4A implementation grants and other federal/state funds could be pursued using the plan as a basis for projects. The transcript does not record a motion or vote to adopt Resolution 2025-16 during the meeting.

The plan recommends prioritizing projects on the county's highest-risk corridors and notes that, if the county adopted a 5% annual reduction goal, modeled impacts could translate to substantial reductions in deaths over the long term. Staff said technical steering committee members included GDOT District 6 and that GDOT participated in the study.

The county presentation closed with an offer to publish the final executive summary and to coordinate with law enforcement and planning partners on implementation and data improvements.","County staff and consultants presented a federally funded Comprehensive Safety Action Plan developed under the Safe Streets and Roads for All program and discussed a draft resolution to adopt a goal of a 5% annual reduction in fatal and serious-injury crashes; no formal adoption vote is recorded in the transcript.","actionData","errors"]
