Ware County awards Recreation Department beverage contract to Coca‑Cola with multi‑year contributions
Summary
The board approved a Coca‑Cola bid for the Recreation Department contract that includes per-case pricing and multi-year in‑kind contributions totaling several thousand dollars for equipment and sponsorships.
Ware County commissioners voted April 13 to award the county Recreation Department beverage contract to Coca‑Cola. Commissioner Jon Tindall moved for approval; Commissioner Timmy Lucas seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
The agreement lists per-case pricing (examples read into the record: 20 oz. carbonated beverages — $30.49; 16.9–20 oz. water — $26.74; 20 oz. isotonic beverages — $32.10) and in‑kind contributions: a $10,000 donation for a utility buggy; $6,000 for volunteer appreciation ($2,000/year for three years); $3,000 for coolers and supplies ($1,000/year for three years); and $7,500 for sponsorship ($2,500/year for three years). The minutes do not specify the contract term or total purchase volume.
Commissioners recorded no dissent. The Recreation Department will proceed under the awarded vendor terms; county procurement staff may finalize contract paperwork following the board's approval.
