Commissioners approve $~460,000 playground purchase using Bay mitigation grant

Calhoun County Commissioners Court · May 27, 2026

Summary

Court authorized the use of Bay Mitigation grant funds to purchase playground equipment from Spongebobounds Inc., with staff citing an approximate cost of $459,000–$460,000 and a reported vendor discount.

The commissioners approved using Bay Mitigation grant funds to buy playground equipment for a site described in the record as "6 mile" from vendor Spongebobounds Incorporated.

County staff and the presenter discussed the procurement and the amount available in mitigation funds; the presenter said the quote totaled about $459,000 (rounded in discussion to $460,000) and noted the vendor offered a 16% discount. The court asked staff to place the award on the ward agenda for public record and moved, seconded and approved the purchase by voice vote.

Commissioners also confirmed that the company has worked with the county previously and that the purchase will be recorded by ward so it is traceable in subsequent minutes. The presenter and staff said funding would come from the mitigation allocation noted on the agenda.
