Summary
The committee approved a three‑year contract to purchase standard common bricks (manhole and sewer bricks) from FM Shelton for up to $186,000 to support maintenance by Watershed Management and Roads and Drainage.
The DeKalb County Public Works and Infrastructure Committee approved a three‑year, multiyear contract to purchase standard common bricks for use in manhole and infrastructure adjustments countywide.
Agenda item 2025‑1150 named FM Shelton as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with a purchase amount not to exceed $186,000. The contract will supply standard common bricks used for manhole cones, facing bricks and load‑bearing applications in maintenance work performed by the Department of Watershed Management and the Public Works roads and drainage division.
Public Works staff member Lemke described the ordinary use: "the final adjustment to grade is usually made with a brick, surface or a brick, cone on top of it. And this is just a load bed that's a standard process that we always use," Lemke said.
No commissioners voiced objections or asked substantive questions about the purchase; the committee approved the recommended award by voice vote.
The agenda packet did not specify the funding source for the purchase during the meeting.
