Paulding County Commissioners Approve Road, Water and Public Safety Contracts and Grants
Summary
The Board approved multiple procurement actions on June 9 including a $3.15M asphalt contract, AMI water‑meter purchases, emergency water‑system repairs, a $500,000 AFG tanker grant application (with $74,950 local match), and several park and jail projects.
At their June 9 meeting, the Paulding County Board of Commissioners approved a slate of procurement and grant actions spanning roads, water infrastructure, parks and public safety.
Notable approvals included:
- An FY2026 asphalt project contract awarded to Blunt Construction Company, Inc. for approximately $3,148,675, funded in large part by a GDOT LRA grant and the county general fund.
- Purchase of 12,000 AMI water meters and transmitters from Kindle Supply for up to $4,200,000 charged to the renewal and extension fund, and a related AMI construction services contract with RTS Water Solutions LLC not to exceed $1,132,649.14.
- Authorization to apply for an Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG, DHS‑24‑GPD) for a high‑capacity tanker truck: $500,000 grant request with a local match of $74,950 (total $574,950).
- Emergency repair and replacement work for damage at the Richland Creek river intake pump station: an emergency material purchase (~$12,559.90) from Consolidated Pipe & Supply and an emergency contract not to exceed $80,000 with Ruby Collins. Both were funded from the renewal and extension fund.
- A canopy construction agreement at 210 Paulen Lane for $260,467.88 (SPLOST funds) and purchase/installation of $115,860 in fitness equipment for White Oak Park under Sourcewell contract.
Other board business included awarding the jail HVAC supervisory control transition to Max Air ($123,863), approving a triparty park land exchange and $175,000 donation tied to Mount Taper Park improvements, and several routine appointments.
How the decisions were made: Most items were presented as motions, seconded and approved by voice vote; the meeting transcript records unanimous voice approvals for the listed items where votes were taken. The Triton Homes development agreement (developer contribution $373,455 for pump station improvements to serve Parkstone) received no second and therefore was not approved.
Budget and funding notes: The board identified multiple funding sources on the record—GDOT LRA grant funds for road projects, SPLOST for right‑of‑way purchases and park projects, and renewal and extension funds for water system purchases and emergency repairs. The Cedar Crest right‑of‑way purchase included potential FHWA reimbursement of up to $5 million noted on the record.
What’s next: Projects with awarded contracts will proceed to procurement and administration by the county departments responsible; grant applications (AFG) require federal review and local matching funds if awarded.
No new litigation, audits or appeals were announced at the meeting.
