Public Works committee approves multiple contracts: pedestrian beacon, fleet, sanitation renewals and EV rollback trucks
Summary
The committee approved a set of procurement and renewal items including a pedestrian hybrid beacon ($110,335), herbicide contract renewal ($176,796.80), a firefighting apparatus order ($2,439,812.95), transit bus purchase ($138,916.13), antifreeze renewal ($108,000), and two electric rollback trucks with charger ($784,165.18).
The Public Works committee moved through a slate of procurement and renewal items and approved awards and renewals as presented.
Commissioners voted to approve a pedestrian hybrid beacon and associated school‑zone flashers at North Decatur Road and Ridgewood Drive, awarding the contract to GTG Traffic Signals LLC for an amount not to exceed $110,335. The committee also approved the sanitation herbicide/growth regulator annual contract renewal with American Eagle LLC for $176,796.80, exercising the first renewal option through July 31, 2027.
Fleet and transit purchases were approved: a replacement heavy‑duty mid‑mount aerial platform truck from Sutphen Corporation for fire and rescue at $2,439,812.95; a 28‑foot light transit vehicle for senior-center use from Bridal 1 Commercial Vehicles for $138,916.13; and two Kenworth rollback trucks plus one charger (electric rollback configuration) from MHC Kenworth Atlanta for $784,165.18. Commissioners flagged the shift toward electric heavy-duty equipment; a director noted overnight charging taking roughly 12–16 hours and described a roughly 250‑mile range claim with load in the discussion, with further testing to be tracked.
An antifreeze contract renewal for fleet management (NAPA Auto Parts and Taylor Enterprises) for $108,000 was also approved. Most items were handled in committee with motions, seconds and affirmative voice votes; where audit follow-up was required (notably for one design services substitute tied to the South River Trail Phase 6 award), commissioners conditioned approvals on resolving audit-identified amounts.
The committee adjourned after completing the agenda.
