Cedartown approves Turner Street Park design and awards Bert Wood Park contract
Summary
The Cedartown City Commission unanimously approved POND’s Turner Street Park architectural proposal for $88,600 and awarded Prime Contractors a $189,998 contract for Bert Wood Park concessions and restrooms, declining a lower bid on staff recommendation.
The Cedartown City Commission on Feb. 9 approved an architectural proposal for Turner Street Park from POND in the amount of $88,600. Commissioner Matt Foster moved and Commissioner Ryan Casey seconded the motion; the Commission voted unanimously.
At the same meeting the Commission awarded the Bert Wood Park concession and restroom contract to Prime Contractors, Inc. for $189,998. The low bid from BH Gregory, LLC for $161,336.79 was declined after staff research and recommendation. Commissioner Jessica Payton moved the award and Commissioner Ryan Casey seconded; the vote was unanimous.
Commissioners framed both votes as steps toward improving city recreational facilities. No financing details or construction start dates were provided in the meeting minutes; staff recommendations and bid research were cited as the basis for declining the lower bid for Bert Wood Park.
The approvals followed the manager’s report on broader city initiatives, including Arbor Day events and a planning retreat. The Commission did not discuss amendments to the contracts during the meeting and no appeals or dissenting votes were recorded.
