# Board of Commissioners meeting October 6, 2026 5:30PM

The Bulloch County Board of Commissioners meeting on October 6, 2026, approved several procurement and infrastructure items. The consent agenda passed unanimously, excluding the Splash therapy-pool refurbishment, which was considered separately and approved unanimously: Smith Aquatics received the $85,626 contract after three quotes were reviewed. Other approved items included $17,309.37 to Sand Creek Land Construction for hauling; an $445,800 Astro Group LLC construction contract for Met Road drainage and repairs; a $190,944 Georgia Power facilities-relocation agreement for the Hightower Road/Josh Smith Road paving project; and AECOM task orders capped at $100,000 for Met Road project services and $225,000 each for the GW Oliver Road bridge and Cypress Lake Road bridge projects. The board also approved an amendment to its road-improvements agreement with the City of Statesboro for design and engineering by Kimley-Horn; the proposal was described as about $1 million, though the transcript’s exact amount is garbled. The county and city will share the cost equally.

The board approved a project development agreement with GRP Wegman for preliminary engineering of a proposed 500-kW solar photovoltaic system serving the Sheriff’s Office expansion and Correctional Institution. The presentation estimated construction at $2.5 million, or about $1.7 million after a 30% federal incentive, with projected lifecycle savings of $4 million; final project pricing and contract approval will come later. The board also unanimously approved a variance waiving sidewalks for a proposed 79-lot subdivision, rezoned 3.6 acres for a contractor office, and approved the associated conditional use with conditions. No other specific procurement decisions were identified in the closing discussion.
