Paulding County staff propose multiple purchases: $6.18M asphalt contract, courtroom AV, pump rehab and patcher truck
Summary
County staff presented recommendations to award a $6.18 million asphalt contract to Magnum Paving, a $4.94 million subdivision resurfacing contract to Bartow Paving, a $208,099 AV equipment purchase for superior courtrooms, a $73,840 Camden Lakes pump station rehabilitation and a $296,704 asphalt patcher truck purchase.
Paulding County staff asked the Board of Commissioners to consider several procurement awards at the meeting, including two large paving contracts, audiovisual equipment for superior courtrooms, a pump-station rehabilitation and a patcher truck purchase.
The largest single recommendation was Paulding DOT’s 2025 Asphalt Project Contract 2, for which staff identified Magnum Paving LLC as the lowest responsible bidder at $6,175,623.55. County staff said the contract covers milling, patching and plant-mix resurfacing on a total of 14.1 miles of county roads in Commission Posts 1 and 4 and that funding would come from Georgia Department of Transportation Local Maintenance Improvement Grant (LMIG) funds, SPLOST and general funds. Staff reported the bid was 9.5% below the county estimate and listed a project completion date of Oct. 31, 2025.
A second paving contract, Paulding DOT 2025 Asphalt Project Contract 3, was presented with Bartow Paving Company Inc. listed as the lowest responsible bidder at $4,944,971.21. Staff described the work as milling, patching, leveling and plant-mix resurfacing covering 120 subdivision streets (about 25 miles) across all four commission posts; funding sources cited were SPLOST and general funds, with an Oct. 31, 2025 completion date.
Court technology: county staff recommended awarding BIS Digital a contract for audiovisual equipment for four superior courtrooms in the amount of $208,099.08. Staff said the system is already used in magistrate court, allows integrated Zoom remote participation and would be funded 60% with ARPA grant funds and 40% from seventh judicial district year-end funds.
Sewer lift station: staff recommended rehabbing the Camden Lakes sewer lift station with new pumps, controllers and soft-starts through Go Forth Williamson Inc. Staff described the existing pumps as obsolete and said the rehab using Grundfos equipment would include a five-year parts warranty at a lower total cost of $73,840; funding was identified from the renewal/extension fund.
Equipment purchase: staff recommended buying a PB Loader PC4 asphalt patcher truck from Environmental Products Group at a Sourcewell contract price of $296,704. The purchase was budgeted in the FY 2025 capital budget for Paulding DOT and would replace a 2001 unit; funding would come from general funds.
County staff noted competitive bid ranges and reviewed vendor references for prior county and regional work. The transcript records staff recommendations and funding sources for each item; it does not record a formal board vote or recorded approval for these awards within the meeting transcript provided.
