Griffin board approves engineering, consulting and equipment contracts and a $573,341 property-damage release
Summary
On Nov. 12 the Griffin Board approved multiple contracts and purchases — including a $142,500 engineering agreement for a wayside horn system, a $412,500 sanitary sewer task order, procurement for pre-treatment program updates and a $573,341 property-damage release — and ratified equipment rentals and vehicle purchases.
At its Nov. 12 meeting the City of Griffin Board of Commissioners approved a series of contracts, task orders, equipment rentals and a property-damage settlement.
The board approved an agreement with Rio Grand Pacific Technology Inc. for engineering services to install a wayside horn system on North 13th Street; the amount read into the record was $142,500. The meeting also approved a task order for Paragon Consulting Group Inc. for a sanitary sewer evaluation study in the Potato Creek basin at $412,500.
Council approved a contract with Goldie Associates for an update to the city’s industrial pre-treatment program at $30,000 and approved industrial user permitting services at a per-industry rate that the meeting transcript records as $4,000. The board ratified a six-month rental of a Leber PR 716 LPG dozer from National Equipment Dealers for $4,975 and approved the purchase of a 2026 Western Star 47x road tractor for the stormwater department for $188,700 under state contract.
The board also approved a property-damage release and settlement involving Carriage Purchase Inc. (d/b/a PS Logistics LLC) and related parties arising from a vehicle strike on Sept. 17, 2024; the amount read into the record was $573,341 and the entities named to be released were identified in the motion.
Several purchase amounts discussed on the floor (for example, a Vermeer SPX25 drop plow and the transcripted total for 210 optical network terminal devices) were read into the record but are unclear in the audio transcription; the official board packet and minutes contain the precise line items. Most of these procurement items were approved by voice vote as recorded in the meeting minutes.
The approvals will allow engineering and infrastructure work to proceed and obligate funds for the identified projects and rentals; staff were directed to proceed under the terms reflected in the contracts and task orders.
