I. HISTORIC BUTLER AVENUE TE GRANT
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.
Review Revised Concept Plan
Review Current Project Schedule
II. 14th Street Parking Lot Reconfiguration Update – Joe Wilson
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
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
Project Status Update – Thomas & Hutton
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.
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.
