Fulton County approves jail maintenance, tree‑trimming and water‑treatment contracts totaling about $9.1 million
Summary
The Board of Commissioners approved three procurement actions Feb. 5: a $2,815,000 extension for Fulton County jail maintenance services, a $130,604 tree-trimming contract, and a $6,192,307 operations and maintenance contract for the Fulton County Water Treatment Facility; all passed unanimously.
Fulton County commissioners on Feb. 5 approved three procurement items during the regular meeting, each by unanimous vote.
The board voted 5–0 to authorize an extension not to exceed $2,815,000 for comprehensive operations, preventive and corrective maintenance services at Fulton County Jail, the South Annex Jail in Union City and the North Annex Jail in Alpharetta. The item was presented by county staff and moved for approval without debate.
Commissioners also approved a lowest-responsible-bidder award in an amount not to exceed $130,604 to provide tree-trimming and vegetation clearing services, 5–0.
Finally, commissioners approved a recommended proposal in an amount not to exceed $6,192,307 to provide operation and maintenance services for the Fulton County Water Treatment Facility. County staff clarified that the contract amount is the total for the joint facility and will be split between Fulton County and the City of Atlanta based on usage; staff told the board Fulton County typically purchases roughly two-thirds of the total water produced at the plant, meaning the county’s cost would be approximately two-thirds of the total contract amount.
All three motions passed by recorded votes of 5–0. The contracts are subject to standard procurement review and will be executed by the appropriate county departments.
