Cobb County opens Jan. 23 bid submissions, postpones inmate medical services RFP
Summary
Cobb County procurement opened bids on Jan. 23, 2025, reading responses for a countywide crack-sealing contract, listing vendors for vehicle car-wash services, and noting a single response for a ballistic vest RFP; the RFP for inmate medical and mental health services was postponed to Feb. 13, 2025.
Cobb County procurement staff opened several solicitations on Thursday, Jan. 23, 2025, announcing a postponement of RFP 25-6869 for inmate medical and mental health services and reading vendor responses for three other solicitations.
The announcement, made by Cameron Hebeler, senior procurement specialist for Cobb County, listed bidders and prices where provided and confirmed the next scheduled bid opening for Feb. 13, 2025. "We have 3 solicitations to be open today," Hebeler said.
Why this matters: Public bid openings disclose competing proposals for county contracts and provide transparency about vendor participation and pricing for services paid by local government.
Procurement details
RFP 25-6869 (Inmate Medical and Mental Health Services): Hebeler announced this RFP was postponed to Feb. 13, 2025. The transcript does not specify a reason for the postponement.
ITB B2922 (2025 Countywide crack sealing): Two responses were read. Deep South Industrial Services Inc. submitted a bid of $936,839.80 with a bid bond included. Remac Inc. submitted a bid of $1,010,248.20 with a bid bond included. The procurement staff read the total bid prices; no award was announced.
ITB 25-6872 (Car wash services for Cobb County government vehicles): Procurement recognized multiple vendors but did not read prices in the transcript. Recognized vendors were Final Touch Auto Detailing LLC; First Class Events Entertainment; Just Ryan Freight Brokers LLC; Spartansolutions.net; and Whitecap Car Wash. Hebeler said that because this is an ITB with multiple prices, staff would identify vendors only.
RFP 25-6874 (Ballistic/tactical vest system): The single response read was from Federal Eastern International. The transcript does not include pricing or an award decision.
No contract awards or formal votes were recorded during the opening. Hebeler closed the session noting that a listing of bidding opportunities estimated to exceed $50,000 and preliminary bid results and awards (once approved) are available on the Cobb County procurement website at www.cobbcounty.org/procurementservices.
What happened next: Procurement staff scheduled the next bid opening for Thursday, Feb. 13, 2025.
Notes: The transcript records bid bonds were included with the two crack-sealing bids; prices for the car-wash ITB and the ballistic vest RFP were not specified in the transcript. The postponement of RFP 25-6869 was announced by procurement staff; no mover, second, or vote was recorded.
