Commissioners table bid award for Fire Station 7 parking-lot resurfacing pending contract revisions
Summary
Staff recommended contracting for milling and resurfacing at Fire Station 7 after receiving bids of $82,009.88 and $94,006.57; commissioners raised concerns about whether public works could handle a limited patch and asked legal to secure contract language changes—board agreed to table the award for further review.
The fire chief described severe pavement deterioration at Fire Station No. 7 and presented two bids for milling and resurfacing: Southeast Pavement at $82,009.88 and Piedmont Paving & Grading at $94,006.57 (the higher bid included striping and traffic control). Staff recommended proceeding with a contractor because public works lacks milling equipment and a paver. Legal counsel noted two provisions in Piedmont’s draft—an indemnification clause and a jurisdiction clause referencing Coweta County—that must be changed to Spalding County before the county could sign.
Commissioners questioned whether public works could do a small localized repair rather than a full mill-and-resurface and asked for more documentation showing this project’s priority relative to road assessment lists. Given outstanding contract edits and the need to confirm scope and price after removing traffic-control costs, the board voted to table the contract and directed staff to secure the requested contract changes and return with a marked-up version for the next meeting.
