Fayette County awards culvert replacement and approves funding to build four Kiwanis Park pickleball courts
Summary
The board awarded a $300,958 culvert replacement contract under 2017 SPLOST and approved a $299,978 contract to build four pickleball courts at Kiwanis Park, including a $120,000 internal transfer to fund the courts; both awards passed 5-0.
Fayette County commissioners approved two construction contracts at their March 28 meeting.
Environmental Management Director Bryan Keller asked the Board to award Bid #2357-B (2017 SPLOST, Stormwater Category II, Tier II) for the Ridge Way culvert replacement to Piedmont Paving, Inc. in the amount of $300,958.14 and to transfer $141,286 from the 17SAS - CAT IV account to fully fund the project. Keller said the work, located in the Parkhill subdivision off Hilo Road near State Route 92 South, would maintain property access for residents during construction.
Parks and Recreation Director Anita Godbee requested approval to award IFB #2358-B to Headley Construction Corporation for $299,977.68 to construct four dedicated pickleball courts adjacent to the existing tennis courts at Kiwanis Park and asked to transfer $120,000 from the Kiwanis Park restroom facility budget to the Pickleball Construction budget. Godbee said current restroom facilities are adequate for normal operations and the restroom transfer would postpone a third restroom study to a later budget cycle. Commissioners approved both contract awards and transfers 5-0.
Commissioner Eric K. Maxwell asked whether the budget transfer would force the county to use porta-johns; Anita Godbee said no, and County Administrator Steve Rapson added only Starrs Mill uses porta-johns currently.
