Fannin County approves election equipment purchase and opens multiple construction bids for evaluation
Summary
The board approved buying two rolling screens for the Board of Elections (total cost stated as $5,008.56) and staff read multiple construction bids for an upcoming project; the bids will be evaluated and no specific contract award was recorded in the transcript.
Mary Ann Connor (introduced in the meeting as the collections supervisor with responsibility for elections equipment) described a new elections workspace and requested two rolling privacy screens to improve setup for logic-and-accuracy testing and equipment staging. She told commissioners the pair of screens would cost $5,008.56. The chair moved to approve the purchase, a second was recorded and the motion passed.
Later a staff member opened and read multiple construction bids for an unspecified county project. Bids and durations listed in the transcript included: JMD Services LLC (bid read as $897,107 based on a 270-calendar-day schedule, with an alternate $1,023,000 figure noted for 180 days), L Square Construction (Tennessee) ($914,600 based on a 95-calendar-day schedule), Main Street Builders LLC ($1,104,897.45 based on 210 days), a Marietta-based bidder (listed as 1,268,500 based on 210 days) and Ward Cuthbert (Marietta) ($1,090,000 based on 130 days). The staff presenter said bids varied and would need significant evaluation. Commissioners made a motion related to the road/recommendation context and recorded a voice vote; the transcript does not specify which bidder, if any, was selected for contract award.
The transcript shows the board approved the screens purchase and asked procurement staff to evaluate construction bids and return a recommendation.
