Gwinnett work session sends dozens of procurements, renewals and appointments to consent agenda
Summary
At its Dec. 3 work session, the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners reviewed and placed a long list of contract awards, renewals and appointments on the consent agenda for the 2 p.m. business meeting, including large IT, public safety and infrastructure procurements and several multi‑year tax assessment contracts.
The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday reviewed and moved a broad slate of procurement awards, contract renewals and board appointments to the consent agenda for the afternoon business meeting.
Finance Director Buffie Alexulian presented multiple recommended awards and renewals, including a multi‑year personal property assessment contract with Tax Management Associates (initial 2025 base $1,533,950; total base $8,337,800) that staff said represents a 44.9% increase from the previous contract. Alexulian also recommended awards to Tyler Technologies for commercial appraisal services (initial $1,623,534) and to PFM Financial Advisors for advisory work (base $20,000). “There is a 44.9% increase in price from the previous contract,” Alexulian said during the presentation.
County departments also sought renewal or award of several operational contracts: flooring ($1,120,050), custodial services ($1,492,840), on‑call electrical repair (base $786,486), and septic pumping maintenance ($132,450). Public safety renewals included annual purchases of duty and training ammunition (base $588,500) and nitrile gloves (base $210,000). The sheriff’s office sought a new HVAC maintenance contract for correctional facilities (base $800,000).
Information Technology requested multiyear awards, including Motorola radio management software (total base $480,600), SmartCop maintenance and support (total base $805,188.36), an endpoint detection and response contract (base $128,940) and Acela system enhancements (amount not to exceed $1,965,715) to improve permitting, inspections and remote workflows.
Support services and public works sought construction and maintenance contracts, among them a fire headquarters HVAC and roof replacement (not to exceed $685,329.21) and a concrete/site work renewal (base $500,000, with reported price increases). Transportation staff recommended a roundabout construction contract for Lakeview Road at Fars Road and Hillside Drive (CMC Inc.; amount not to exceed $2,653,405), funded largely by the 2023 SPLOST program.
Several items were informational or routine: renewal options tied to the county’s pending Oracle ERP implementation, a purchasing card change order that staff said yields an estimated $400,000 in annual rebates, and donation acceptance of 330 combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms (value $19,790.10) from Kidde for the fire department.
Most items were presented as staff recommendations and — after brief clarifying questions on select items — were placed on the consent agenda. The work session did not include recorded roll‑call votes on individual awards; items will receive formal action during the 2 p.m. business meeting.
