Summary
The board approved a $2.5 million building consultant services pool (RFQ 40725), extended architectural services (RFP 410‑19), accepted 27 banking resolutions, awarded IFB 129‑24 for fire inspection and maintenance services, and confirmed executive‑session personnel actions; Miss Gregory recused from the RFQ vote.
At its June 18 meeting, the Fulton County Board of Education approved a series of procurement and administrative actions.
Noel Malouf, chief operations officer, read a motion to award the building consultant services agreement under RFQ 40725 to a roster of firms (including JA Engineering Consultants, Breedlove Land Planning, Merrick and others) for a total contract amount of $2,500,000 for the period July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. Miss Gregory recused from that vote, citing professional relationships; the motion carried with five votes in favor and one recusal.
Malouf also read the motion to accept a 12‑month contract extension for architectural services under RFP 410‑19 (07/01/2025–06/30/2026); Miss Dove moved, Miss Gillespie seconded and the motion carried unanimously. Marvin Doreef presented 27 consolidated banking resolutions tied to leadership changes; the board approved them unanimously.
On item 6.05, staff corrected a previously submitted table and moved to accept the second option renewal award for IFB 129‑24 — fire inspection, safety and maintenance services for facilities — to the vendor listed in the agenda as "MiTech DBA, Pi Barker." Miss Posadic moved, Miss Gregory seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
The board also approved executive session land, legal, student and personnel matters and announced several promotions, including Ayanna Demery as principal at Brookview Elementary and Laura Butler as principal at Crabapple Crossing Elementary.
The consent agenda and other informational reports (field trips, employee travel, contracting report, change orders) were read and approved without further action. Board members asked clarifying questions about change orders and omissions, and staff explained technical omissions in design documents and confirmed those changes fit within project budgets.
Votes at a glance (as recorded in the transcript): agenda as amended — unanimous; RFQ 40725 building consultants — carried with one recusal (Miss Gregory); RFP 410‑19 extension — unanimous; banking resolutions — unanimous; IFB 129‑24 award — unanimous; executive session approvals and consent agenda — unanimous.
