Gwinnett commissioners move dozens of contracts, projects and a hazard mitigation update to consent agenda

The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday moved a package of procurement awards, contract renewals, transportation project agreements and a multi‑jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan to its consent agenda for formal action at the afternoon business meeting.

The items were discussed briefly in the 10 a.m. work session and, unless otherwise noted, were advanced to the consent agenda by general assent of the board. Chairwoman (name not specified) opened the meeting and asked for approval of the agenda; commissioners made and seconded a motion to approve the agenda.

The recommended consent items included procurement and contract actions across departments. Highlights included a recommendation to award a consulting contract to Deloitte Consulting LLP to develop a subsidy and subrecipient audit plan for the county’s community services, financial services and planning and development departments (base amount $131,400; 13% of the contract funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development). Acting Finance Director Russell Royal presented that item.

Court administration requested an increase and renewal of an annual contract for drug‑testing supplies with Microgenics Corporation, raising the current contract from $85,000 to $135,000 and approving a renewal base of $175,000; the courts reported the lab handled more than 29,000 drug screens in 2024 and said 40% of the contract is funded by the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council.

Information Technology staff recommended a multiyear Microsoft Unified Support agreement with an initial year base of $799,399 (total base bid $2,866,197 across the contract life) to provide reactive and advisory support, proactive services, training and risk‑mitigation. IT Director Dorothy Parks presented both Microsoft support and a property deed transfer software implementation contract (base $123,600) that would automate deed‑transfer workflows.

Parks and Recreation requested an increase to a pavement maintenance contract (parks parking lots and trails) to a new total base amount of $3,320,000 under the 2023 SPLOST program; Parks Director Chris Miner said the funds would allow repairs at Rabbit Hill Park, McGinnio Farm Park, Lenoir Park and Yellow River Park and trail work on Duncan Creek and Triple Mill.

Transportation items recommended to move forward included a pedestrian improvement contract for Center Way at Beaver and Beaver Ruin Road to ER Snell Contractor Inc. (amount not to exceed $4,779,191; funded by the 2017 SPLOST program) and term contracts for resurfacing more than 43 centerline miles of residential streets (combined base bid $12,718,746.19) to Sunbelt Asphalt Services and Triple R Paving and Construction; the resurfacing program will rehabilitate more than 200 miles of roadway this year when combined with previously awarded contracts.

Police and public‑safety items advanced to consent included a multiyear contract for false‑alarm management with Superion LLC (estimated revenue $292,000 in the initial term; $1,072,744 estimated over the contract lifetime) and approval authorization to adopt an updated multi‑jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (required to be updated every five years, per presentation from the department). The police department explained the Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies and prioritizes risks and emergency preparedness measures and recommended approval.

Other awards and renewals on the consent list included landscape and grounds maintenance contracts (e.g., Mariani Enterprises LLC, RE Global) and materials contracts (thermoplastic materials for pavement markings, low‑profile raised pavement markers) and a contract for granular activated carbon filter media for the F. Wayne Hill Water Resources Center (base $750,000). Water Resources Director Rebecca Shelton also asked the board to approve applying for and, if awarded, accepting a Georgia Environmental Protection Division Section 319(h) nonpoint source implementation grant of $808,830 to replace the pond at Shorty Howell Park with a stormwater wetland and rain garden; the county would provide $539,220 in matching funds if the grant is awarded.

Transportation staff also requested direction to prepare a public hearing to create a special assessment district allowing speed humps in a cluster of neighborhood streets (Abilene Trail, Hood Road, Lena Carter Road, Riva Ridge Drive and Shen Court) after speed studies and by‑petition efforts failed to reach the required number of supporting signatures.

The Board also noted execution of a supplemental right‑of‑way agreement with the Georgia Department of Transportation for the State Route 316 interchange project; GDOT will contribute an additional $6,220,000 for right‑of‑way acquisition, bringing total GDOT contributions to $14,000,000 for the two agreements described in staff’s presentation. No local matching funds were required for that supplemental agreement.

The work session concluded with a motion to adjourn. The items discussed at the work session were placed on the consent agenda for the 2 p.m. business meeting unless a commissioner requested that an item be pulled for separate discussion.
