Hall County approves Honeywell water-treatment contract for county buildings
Summary
Commissioners approved a roughly $12,000-per-year chemical water-treatment contract with Honeywell for county buildings (admin, annex, county attorney building). The motion passed 5–0 with one abstention after a staff presentation about continuity and building-system familiarity.
County facilities staff recommended renewing a chemical water-treatment contract with Honeywell, arguing continuity benefits for boilers and glycol systems in the administration, annex and county attorney buildings. Facilities staff (speaker 12) told the board Honeywell has provided treatment for years, would visit monthly to check readings and top off chemicals, and that the cost is "right around $12,000 for a year." The recommendation emphasized avoiding midstream changes to chemical formulations.
A commissioner (speaker 13) moved to approve the Honeywell contract and authorize the chair to sign; the motion was seconded and, after a short discussion, carried with five votes in favor and one abstention (clerk announced '5 yes votes, 1 abstained').
Board discussion touched on prior vendor arrangements, contract history and the budget line for treatment services. No contract number was provided in the record; the motion authorized the chair to sign the contract documents.
Next steps: staff will finalize the Honeywell agreement and forward documents for the chair’s signature as authorized by the board.
