Paulding County commissioners approved a package of contracts, project change orders and purchases at their Feb. 3 meeting, clearing spending and procurement items the board said are needed to maintain county operations and complete scheduled infrastructure work.
The board voted to award the Gulledge Road and Creekview Way improvement project to Wilson Construction Management for $1,053,024.70, funded by developer contributions and SPLOST. Commissioners also approved a five-year VMware license renewal under the state contract with SHI for $262,584 total, to be paid from the general fund.
The county authorized a supplemental agreement with Kimberly Horn & Associates for $77,000 for engineering design services on the New Hope Corridor improvement project; funding was allocated from SPLOST and the project covers portions of Posts 1 and 4. The board approved Change Order 3 to TCUSA Consulting for $173,800 to extend services through Aug. 31, 2026, and approved Change Order 5 to the county's Motorola contract totaling $858,463.36. The Motorola change order, as described to the board, includes maintenance costs spread over 15 years (described in the meeting as approximately $470,000.68) and a vendor credit of $341,415.47, yielding a net current-year increase of $46,367.87; funding was allocated from 9-0-11 fees and SPLOST.
The board approved a $50,000 increase in the project funding allotment for fiscal-year 2025 bituminous surface treatment work to Northwest Georgia Paving Inc., with the general fund covering the increase. The board also approved a contract with the North Georgia Amateur Umpire Association covering 2026–2028, funded by the general fund, and authorized the purchase of granular activated carbon from Calgon Carbon Corporation for $724,800 for tri-annual replacement in six GAC vessels at the Richland Creek Water Treatment Plant; that purchase will be funded from the water and sewer fund.
Chair members identified the actions as routine business necessary to keep projects on schedule and maintain public-safety and utility systems. There was no extended debate on these items; most passed on motion and voice vote as part of the board’s consent and regular business items.
The board concluded these approvals with procedural voice votes. No executive session was called during the meeting, and commissioners closed the meeting following routine announcements.
