Council approves several public-works items: Township Drive right-of-way, stormwater savings, contract extension, trail planning and all-way stop
Summary
The Dalton City Council approved multiple public-works actions June 2, including acceptance of Township Drive into the city’s public right of way, a $21,855.62 deductive change order on a stormwater project, a 61-day contract extension for Pence & Collar Street work, a $40,500 task order for trail erosion plans, and conversion of a neighborhood intersection to an all-way stop.
The Dalton City Council approved several public-works items June 2, including acceptance of a newly constructed road, contract changes and a traffic-control change.
Public Works staff asked the council to accept the public right of way for Township Drive, a new road serving the Hammond Creek Apartments that connects to Pleasant Grove Drive. Council approved resolution 25-08 to accept the right of way.
The council approved a deductive change order for the Franklin Street and Valley Drive stormwater bypass project, reducing the contract by $21,855.62. Staff said value engineering by the project manager, Jackson Shepherd, and the contractor Rott Brothers Inc. produced the savings; the Public Works Committee recommended approval.
The Pence and Collar Street Corridor Improvements Project contract was extended by 61 days to a new substantial completion date of July 31. Staff said the extra time responds to unforeseen field conditions, existing utility issues, material lead times and recent heavy rainfall; the Public Works Committee had reviewed and approved the request.
The council approved Arcadis task order number 014 to produce erosion-control plans needed for paving the Haigbeville Lake Trail, a 2025 parks capital improvement project, at a cost of $40,500.
Public Works staff also presented a study and recommended converting the Spencer Street and Hagan Street intersection from a two-way stop to an all-way stop after Boatworks conducted an evaluation citing sight-distance concerns and AASHTO warrant criteria. Council approved the change.
Staff presented these items as routine capital and maintenance actions; each was approved by motion and voice vote as presented to council.
