City awards $63,840 lead‑abatement contract for former shooting range at 102 Guthrie Way
Summary
Peachtree City approved a $63,840 contract with Hibernia Enterprises to perform lead abatement at 102 Guthrie Way before police occupancy after environmental consultants found lead contamination outside the shooting range area; consultants characterized levels as not extreme but warranting mitigation.
Peachtree City — The City Council voted July 24 to award a lead abatement contract to Hibernia Enterprises for the former on‑target shooting range at 102 Guthrie Way, citing consultant recommendations to mitigate lead contamination before occupying the building for police use.
City Engineer Dave Borkowski presented due‑diligence findings from environmental consultants showing lead from the shooting range had migrated beyond the shooting area. Consultants recommended abatement work — described as a thorough cleaning and wipe‑down of surfaces — prior to long‑term occupancy.
Council reviewed two proposals and accepted Hibernia Enterprises’ bid of $63,840, citing confidence in the firm’s experience and the lower, well‑documented price compared with an alternative $141,400 proposal. Staff clarified the consultant had characterized contamination levels as not "extremely concerning" but warranting mitigation as a prudent safety step before police occupancy.
The council moved and approved the contract on a voice vote.
Quote: "The consultant says the levels are not extremely concerning but warrant due diligence," City Engineer Dave Borkowski said.
Ending: With the contract approved, staff will coordinate scheduling and oversight of the abatement before the police department relocates.
