Board reviews bids for pickleball/tennis lighting, uniforms, cheer and sports photography; moves to process bids
Summary
The board opened and reviewed multiple bids for Hart County Parks & Recreation — including court lighting, sports uniforms, cheer gear and photography — and took motions to exclude late bids and to refer final vendor selection to recreation staff.
The board opened several bids tied to Hart County Parks and Recreation and took procedural actions to proceed with procurement and exclude late submissions.
Tennis/pickleball court lighting: Bids read into the record included among others: Corey Clark Electric LLC of Clermont, Ga. ($32,000), and Middle Georgia Outdoor Lighting Inc. ($46,545). Commissioners moved to proceed with the bid opening and to consider the bids; the board voted in favor of the motion (recorded as unanimous). The transcript does not record a formal award to a specific contractor at this meeting.
Uniforms and cheer: The board reviewed competitive quotes for football jerseys and cheer outfits. One vendor listed as GoSports (flag/football jersey) and Oakley Sports and Varsity Spirit were listed for cheer items; prices for items were read into the record (for example, youth and adult jersey prices and kit prices listed by vendors). Commissioners also moved to exclude a late bid from consideration and voted to proceed; final vendor selections and brand confirmations were left for the recreation staff to finalize with the board’s guidance about specifying brand and quality going forward.
Sports photography: Two photography bids were presented with package pricing; one vendor, Strawbridge Solutions, offered a 10% donation back to the recreation department. The board voted to turn the photo‑service bids over to the recreation director for final review and selection.
Votes taken were procedural (accept bid openings, exclude late bids, turn procurement to staff). Commissioners emphasized that future solicitations should specify brand/quality requirements to ensure local bidders can compete and to avoid acceptance of off‑brand imported merchandise without clarity.
