Sandy Springs has approved contracts for field services that city officials say will provide an estimated 10 percent cost reduction while increasing service levels throughout the community.
The contracts, valued at $5.25 million total in the proposed fiscal 2018 budget, cover areas ranging from traffic signal and landscape maintenance to community appearance and street repairs.
The successful bidders were Aegis ITS Inc., traffic signal maintenance; GCA Services Group, for mowing, street sweeping and weed eradication of public roads and rights-of-way; Yellowstone Landscape, to service 66 parcels of green space for the Recreation and Parks Department; Optech Monette LLC, for basic storm water maintenance, inspection and repair; and Blount Construction Co., for street and sidewalk maintenance and repair.
“We used the rebidding of these contracts to re-evaluate the city’s needs and look at opportunities to provide enhanced services without increasing costs,” said Assistant City Manager Bryant Poole, who oversaw the procurement process.
