Statham City Council approves painting, flooring and tree‑removal contracts; OKs mass‑notification vendor
Summary
The council on Jan. 20 approved multiple facility repair contracts, awarded a tree‑removal contract not to exceed $25,000, and approved a mass‑notification vendor at an annual cost recorded as $4,900.
The Statham City Council voted on Jan. 20 to award several local repair and maintenance contracts, approve a tree‑removal program for multiple addresses across town and authorize a mass‑notification vendor.
Council members approved the apparent low bidder for painting at the Hillman Rainwater building, awarding the contract to Serpro for a total of $7,288 after staff noted Serpro had identified rotten boards and proposed additional trim work. Brett, the staff member who reviewed the bids, said Serpro "caught a couple rotten boards and set the trim," and council approved the award by voice vote. The council also awarded the painting contract for the Robert Bridges building to SertaPro for $6,552.64.
The council approved a flooring bid for the Robert Bridges building and recorded the amount in the meeting as 559327; the transcript record lists the figure that way and the council approved the supplier Southern Woods, a local bidder noted during discussion. The record did not include a clear written confirmation of the numeric value beyond the spoken amount in the minutes.
A council member moved to award AK Tree Service a contract to remove identified dead or hazardous trees at specified addresses (1993 Broad St., 1989 Broad St., 1933 Broad St., two trees at 310 Jefferson St., a trunk over the sidewalk at 1899 Broad St., 1895 Broad St., 249 Jefferson St., the alley between 1969 and 1975 Broad St., and a dead tree in the dog park). The motion authorized tree removal work "not to exceed $25,000," and council approved the motion after brief discussion about items omitted from the initial list and plans for re‑evaluation by staff member Lee Clark.
The council also approved a proclamation designating Arbor Day 2026.
On the city’s mass‑notification system, the council reviewed two proposals. A presenter who reviewed the packets recommended the vendor identified in the proposal (referred to in the meeting as "gov"); a council motion approved that vendor with an annual cost recorded in the spoken record as $4,900. The presenter’s recommendation and the council motion were recorded without a written contract shown in the spoken segments provided.
What happens next: contracts will be finalized and recorded in the official minutes and procurement files; tree‑removal work will proceed under the not‑to‑exceed limit once the city executes the contract.
