Social Circle approves consent agenda including construction bid, engineering contracts and a $77,600 change order

Mr. Taylor presented nine consent-agenda items and recommended approval. Items included minutes (May 19 and June 4 regular and executive sessions); a bid award to Pro Construction of Georgia LLC as the lowest responsible bidder for the Public Works Maintenance Facility; an engineering services agreement with Kimley‑Horn for the GDOT 138 at Alcove River Bridge project (not to exceed $50,000); an engineering services agreement with Precision Planning for Tower Road water tank and North pressure zone project (approximately $197,050; described as a bond project); a change order with AM Construction for $77,600 to replace a rotted culvert discovered during the Lakewood Drive water main project; and a correction to a city speed ordinance scrivener error concerning Alcove Drive.

A council member moved to approve the consent agenda as presented; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. No separate roll-call votes or dissent were recorded in the transcript.

Why it matters: the consent agenda advances procurement, design and construction work on public-works projects and corrects an administrative scrivener error that will be forwarded to the state. The change order for the Lakewood Drive water main indicates an unplanned infrastructure repair with a material cost adjustment.

Details: the Kimley‑Horn agreement was presented as an amount not to exceed $50,000; the Precision Planning fee was given as $197,050 (transcript read as "197,000 and $50"); the AM Construction change order was $77,600. The transcript did not include contract numbers, bid packages, or detailed scopes beyond the short descriptions Mr. Taylor provided.

Next steps: staff will proceed with the awarded contracts and the change order work; the correction to the speed ordinance will be finalized and submitted to the state as needed.
