The November 3, 2026, Sandy Springs City Council meeting approved two contracts for the citywide digital service delivery project: Salesforce licensing through Kerasoft Technology Corporation and implementation services through Stack Nexus. The licensing cost was described as about $40,000 annually, with a 2.5% yearly increase; the implementation award amount was not stated in the transcript. Staff said an earlier, broader RFP was canceled after bids came in at very high cost, and the city narrowed the scope before evaluating four options and negotiating directly. The selected project is expected to take about nine months and be phased, with multiple rounds of testing. Council approved both awards; staff said recurring costs would be incorporated into future budgets.

Council also approved a $515,000 construction-services contract to FH Passion SN Nielsen and Associates for the temporary Fire Station No. 1 buildout, selected from three bids. The total project cost, including contingency, was reported as $561,350; staff requested a $300,000 transfer from capital contingency, noting an additional funding need of about $298,949. A separate FY2027 budget amendment reallocating $216,000 from the fire department fleet budget to the temporary station was also approved; the funds became available because payments on two fire apparatus were not due until FY2028. Council additionally set the FY2027 millage rate at 4.731 mills. The mayor reported that staff had worked with AT&T on the cell-tower issue raised during public comment and saw no service degradation to city units in the area.
