Loading...
Summary
The Aberdeen Board voted to advertise an RFQ for water-distribution and sewer-collection system engineering (Resolution 2604) and scheduled a public hearing on a proposed UDO text amendment for April 27; the consent agenda containing routine resolutions also passed by voice vote.
At the April 13 work session the Aberdeen Board of Commissioners approved several routine items and specific next steps for infrastructure procurement and planning.
The board approved the consent agenda by voice vote; the motion carried with no recorded opposition. Among the consent items discussed on the agenda were Resolution 2603, described on the consent sheet as security for infrastructure improvements for Sandy Springs phases, and authorization for the town manager to sign benefits-related documents.
On a separate motion the board approved Resolution 2604 to advertise a request for qualifications (RFQ) to solicit engineering firms for water distribution system improvements, sewer collection mapping and modeling. Staff explained the RFQ is a first step in selecting engineers for a package of multiple projects; commissioners asked about overlap with gas mains and right-of-way concerns in specific neighborhoods and staff said the RFQ and subsequent engineering work will coordinate around existing utilities.
The board also scheduled a public hearing for a proposed Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) text amendment (TA-2602) to correct references across several chapters and remove references to documents that do not exist. The hearing was set for April 27 at 6 p.m.
Votes reported in the transcript were recorded as voice votes; no roll-call tallies by name were provided in the meeting record.
Next steps: staff will post RFQ advertisement materials and prepare the public-hearing notice for the UDO amendment; the RFQ bid packet will be opened on the timetable presented by staff and staff will return with results and recommendations for contract selection.
