Paulding County board approves multiple contracts, ARPA funding and project change order
Summary
Paulding County commissioners adopted minutes and approved several vendor contracts and purchases, ratified an ARPA spending resolution totaling $9,591,414, and approved a change order for the Ivy Village landfill project; public comment raised concerns about data centers’ environmental and health risks.
Paulding County commissioners met and approved a slate of routine business on May 3, including contract awards for facility and infrastructure work, acceptance of an ARPA funding resolution and a change order on a landfill project.
The board voted to adopt the April 14, 2026 work session and board meeting minutes. It then authorized the chairman to enter into a professional engineering design contract with STD Incorporated for the Wind Road at South Paulding High School intersection improvement project (project PR-IMP-268SPSH), with funding identified as FLOS funds and the project located in Post 2. Commissioners also approved agreements with KL Insulation Incorporated for flooring replacement at the Defects Building, 1387 Industrial Boulevard North, for $59,957.10, and with Mohawk Flooring Incorporated for flooring material at the EPAC Building, 1387 Industrial Boulevard North, for $58,847.11.
The board adopted Resolution 2026-18, authorizing acceptance and expenditures of ARPA funds for calendar years 2024 and 2025 totaling $9,591,414. Commissioners also approved the purchase of a Kubota membrane and associated components through Pumps and Process Equipment Incorporated for the county’s Upper Sweetwater Water Resource Recovery Facility; a staff member clarified the transcript-recorded replacement amount for damaged membranes as $61,160.
Separately, the board approved a change order to the Rayland contract for the Ivy Village landfill project. The financial figure recorded in the meeting transcript for that change order appears as “72,007 $462.12,” which is unclear and needs clarification from county staff or the contract records.
All motions related to the items above were made, seconded and carried by voice vote during the meeting.
