New Business:
Old Business:
I. HISTORIC BUTLER AVENUE TE GRANT
A. Project Status Update – Written Report from HGBD
Diane Schleicher went over the written report from HGBD from the hand
out; one item not on this report is that the GDOT has stepped up on their
title 6 report; when you receive federal funding you have to be in
compliance with the EOC; contractors are responsible for submitting their
EOC compliance paperwork as well.
a. Review Revised Concept Plan
b. Review Current Project Schedule
II. 14th Street Parking Lot Reconfiguration Update – Joe Wilson
A. Joe Wilson states he talked with Mark from Griffin Contracting today; states
Mark will have the two middle weeks of September to do this. I will be
meeting with Mark again, the 23rd of this month, to discuss the final price due
to the additional work that will be done. Mark said he thought it would be
around $1500 for the additional striping of the fire lane. I think we’re going to
be in the ballpark of $35,000. I will give you the updated final price at the
next meeting.
III. WWTP – Rotary Press Arrived and Installation is in Process – George Reese
A. Paul Wolff asked what the installation window is. George Reese states that
they poured the concrete today and will be out Monday to set it; we’re
looking at the end of next week for completion.
III. HISTORIC RAILS TO TRAILS TE GRANT
A. Project Status Update – Thomas & Hutton
a. Review Concept Plan
1. John Giordano presents the concept plan; states they are pretty much
done with it but there are a couple of issues that need to be ironed out
before I can submit this; it has to do with the trail itself, as far has what
we want to do construction wise. Diane Schleicher and I had spoken
briefly about possibly doing 2 separate one way paths with a grass
vegetated strip in the middle. I know the original RFP called for an
asphalt trail; the asphalt would probably be the cheaper route to go and
probably less maintenance.
2. Paul Wolff states that the reasoning behind that was to get the
Georgia Power trucks out there; if it was 2 concrete strips to
accommodate their wheels then we wouldn’t have the crumbling of the
asphalt; it would accommodate a greater load. I would like to keep that
on the table if you don’t think it’s impossible to do that for the same
money. We’ve talked about Georgia Power absorbing the difference.
b. Next step is to meet with Georgia Power to coordinate project
1. John suggests that we start the conversations with Georgia Power
sooner, than later, so we can see what kind of section they’re looking
for out here.
2. Joe Wilson states he will contact Mike Grisham, from Georgia
Power, tomorrow to set up a meeting regarding this trail.
3. John suggests that he go ahead and get the Water/Sewer plans from
George Reese for the area of construction; John will contact GDOT to
get the right-a-way plans for Hwy 80.
4. John states he will send the concept report that he has to this point
and run some numbers for the preliminary cost.
5. Diane Schleicher states she will need an idea of what the base price
is, if we did it this way, to track the Grant itself; also be able to track
what Georgia Power is willing to contribute to the change. John states,
no problem.
With no further business to discuss, Paul Wolff asked for a motion to adjourn. Tom
Groover motioned to adjourn. Barry Brown seconded.
A quorum of city council members may be present which would constitute a meeting.
