Board considers awarding Gulledge Road improvement contract to Wilson Construction
Summary
County staff recommended awarding the Gulledge Road at Creekview Way improvement project to Wilson Construction Management for $1,053,024.70; the low bid was 11.4% higher than the engineer’s estimate, nine bids were received, and funding will come from developer contributions and DOT/SPLOST sources.
Paulding County staff recommended that the board award the Gulledge Road at Creekview Way road‑improvement project to the lowest reliable bidder, Wilson Construction Management, for $1,053,024.70. The project—funded through developer contributions and DOT/SPLOST allocations—would reconstruct road curvature, realign intersections, install base material, curbing, storm drainage and asphalt, and is expected to take 12 months from notice to proceed.
Staff reported nine bids were opened on Jan. 16, 2026; the low bid was approximately 11.4% higher than the engineer’s estimate, and eight other bids were within 29% of the low bid, which staff said indicated reasonable contractor pricing in the current market. If approved, funding would include a developer contribution of $190,800 (spelled out in the record) and other project funds; the project is located in Post 4.
