Rome board approves multiple contracts, tables two property sales

The City of Rome Board of Investment Contracts met May 15 and approved a series of routine administrative resolutions, awarding contracts, authorizing request-for-proposals and change orders, amending two documents for clerical corrections and tabling two property-sale resolutions pending further review.

The board approved awards and agreements including: RFB 2025002 to BP Excavation LLC for the disaster recovery link road project, $451,817.50 (Resolution 85); RFP 2025004 to Central Paving Incorporated for the 2025 Perry Street reconstruction project, $876,815 (Resolution 86); an agreement with Holland Company Incorporated in the amount listed in the agenda as $111,000 (Resolution 87); change order number 3 to the JCI Jones Chemicals Incorporated contract for $3,670.80 (Resolution 95); and acceptance of a deed in lieu of tax sale for 815 Croton Street from the Herbert Banbury Estate (Resolution 96). The board also authorized an emergency budget transfer for purchase of a security camera (Resolution 93) and directed the city clerk to issue an RFP for project monitoring and air-sample professional services (RFP 2025009, Resolution 83).

Two agenda items were amended before final approval. The board amended Resolution 84, the agreement with Majestic Fireworks Incorporated, to correct a clerical error changing the date referenced from 2024 to 2025 before voting to approve the resolution as amended. The board also amended Resolution 94 to change references from "bids" to "proposals"…
