Paulding County’s Board of Commissioners approved a series of routine procurement actions, a consulting contract extension and transportation steps during its most recent meeting, the county’s communications office said.
The board awarded the fiscal year 2026 purchase of 200 Panasonic Toughbooks to Southern Computer Warehouse for $621,080.30 from the general fund and approved buying eight Ford F-150 trucks from Hardy Family Ford for $352,865 using water and general funds. The board also authorized the chairman to execute a utility easement with Greystone Power for underground wiring and a transformer to serve the county fleet building.
Under new business, commissioners unanimously approved a $156,080 change order to extend services with TUSA Consulting through March 31, 2026. The board also approved the purchase of seven workstations recorded on the meeting as “Steam Veil” workstations from SHI Systems Inc. for $69,287.33; the vendor/product name is taken from the record and may reflect a transcription rendering.
On transportation matters, the board adopted a resolution authorizing submission of a Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) grant application to the Georgia Department of Transportation for the Cedar Crest Road widening project from Harmony Grove Church Road to the Cobb County line. The board also authorized Supplemental Agreement No. 2 with BM and K for $220,850, increasing that contract to $1,617,225 for right-of-way acquisition and appraisal services for the Cedar Crest project; funds were identified as SPLOST.
Commissioners approved amended Paulding County Department of Transportation technical guidelines for left-turn lanes and right-turn deceleration lanes. The board adopted a resolution confirming an earlier executive session for real estate (the resolution identifier as read on the record was unclear) and separately adopted Resolution 2025-40 confirming an executive session for litigation.
Most items were presented as approvals or routine motions; the only vote described on the record as unanimous was the TUSA Consulting change order. Individual mover/second attributions and roll-call tallies were not specified during the recorded recap. The board’s communications reading concluded by directing the public to paulding.gov and the county’s Facebook and YouTube channels for agendas and meeting content. John of Polycom County Communications closed with a reading of a quote attributed to Andy Andrews: "There are generations yet unborn whose lives will be shifted and shaped by the moves you make and the actions you take."
