XII. Agenda Items

[PAGE 6]
A. Procurement and Contracts
1 Fire and Rescue Department seeks Council approval to proceed with the procurement of
a permanent, multi-level burn training facility that allows South Fulton Fire Rescue to
conduct realistic live-fire, rescue, and ventilation training in compliance with national
standards. Firefighters currently lack a dedicated, NFPA-compliant space to conduct full-
scale training. This project addresses that gap by installing a modular steel burn building
capable of supporting training for structure fires, confined space rescues, vertical
ventilation, search drills, and ladder operations.
The vendor, Fire Facilities Inc., is pre-approved through the HGACBuy Cooperative
Contract MB11-20, allowing the City to bypass a formal RFP while securing nationally bid
pricing. The system meets NFPA 1402 standards and is designed to support ISO
readiness. The total cost of the burn building is two million six hundred ninety-five thousand
eight hundred seventy-eight dollars and zero cents ($2,695,878.00)
2 Public Works seeks Council approval to award ITB 25-13 Standby Resurfacing Minor
Projects to Triple R Paving, the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. This rebid of
ITB 25-06 broadens the scope to include citywide resurfacing and minor roadway
rehabilitation through a competitively bid unit price contract.
All work will be executed under individual task orders for mill and overlay, deep base
repair, subdivision resurfacing, and asphalt patching. Task orders will be issued on an as-
need basis in accordance with the contractor's submitted unit pricing schedule.
3 The Procurement Department is requesting Council Approval of a Resolution to adopt the
updated City of South Fulton Purchasing Card and Credit Card Policy, which
provides stricter internal controls, clearer accountability measures, and compliance with
applicable procurement laws.
The City’s original purchasing card policy has been revised to incorporate internal auditor
recommendations, tighten fiscal controls, and standardize use across departments. The
updated policy includes defined monthly limits by position, prohibited purchase categories,
audit protocols, cardholder responsibilities, required documentation for meals, temporary
spending increases, and disciplinary procedures for misuse.
The revision was developed collaboratively with the City Manager’s Office, Internal
Auditor, Legal, and the Procurement Director. Key updates ensure alignment with Georgia
law and industry best practices, including the Four-Pronged Test for public purpose
spending and increased oversight by the Procurement Administrator.
4 Parks and Recreation seeks Council approval to move forward with the installation and
relocation of emergency call boxes at high-traffic City parks, with a not-to-exceed
project budget of two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000.00). The initiative enhances
public safety by providing direct emergency communication links for park visitors. Work
will be completed by A3 Communications using the State of Georgia cooperative contract.
