County authorizes bid package for closed‑loop splash pad at Carver Road (impact‑fee funded)
Summary
Spalding County commissioners approved moving forward with bid specifications for a closed‑loop splash pad at Carver Road funded from impact fees, directing options for 1–3 sprinkler configurations and a push‑button 10‑minute activation.
The Spalding County Board of Commissioners authorized staff to advertise a request for bids to build a closed‑loop (recirculating) splash pad at Carver Road funded entirely from developer impact fees.
Commissioners asked for minimum and maximum design options (one spray feature up to several jets, with possibilities such as buckets and ground jets) and specified that the system should be closed‑loop to avoid continuous potable water use. The board directed staff to encourage local contractors to bid and noted the impact‑fee funding source will not use property tax revenues.
The motion to proceed with a bid package carried 5‑0.
Commissioners emphasized the project would be bid competitively and that final design and contract terms will return to the board for award approval.
