Council approves guaranteed maximum price for Greenville Street and Bicentennial Park projects
Summary
The Newnan City Council approved guaranteed maximum price contract awards for construction of Greenville Street Park and Bicentennial Park; funding comes from the local special-purpose sales tax and GMPs remain under the previously set $4 million construction budget.
The Newnan City Council on Oct. 14 approved guaranteed maximum price (GMP) amounts to proceed with construction on the Greenville Street Park and Bicentennial Park projects.
Mr. Craver presented the staff recommendation to award GMPs to New South Construction and Goodwin Mills & Caywood, with program support from Comprehensive Program Services. He reminded council members that in October 2024 the council approved design and construction contracts and set a $4,000,000 construction budget. In the packet presented Oct. 14, the GMP amounts for both projects were reported to be under that $4,000,000 figure.
The staff report listed the funding source for construction as the special-purpose local option sales tax (SPLOST). Council discussed an allowance item referenced in the packet (page 53 of 63) that included an additional allowance related to the arboretum; staff indicated that specific arboretum allowance would be discussed in the subsequent item.
A motion to approve the GMPs passed by voice vote. The motion and second were recorded in the meeting; a roll-call tally was not read into the record in the transcript provided.
Construction awards allow staff and the selected contractors to begin work under the agreed GMPs and the council will receive updates as construction progresses.
