Loading...
Summary
The council approved minutes, a recreation budget amendment, purchase of 107 Guthrie Way for $3,000,000, procurement for Fire Station 85, the North Hill Path contract, and a Drake Pavilion change order during the meeting.
Peachtree City Council approved a series of routine administrative and capital items during the meeting. Highlights:
- Minutes: The council approved the April 2, 2026 work‑session and executive‑session minutes after a motion and second.
- Consent: The council approved a 2026 budget amendment for the Recreation Department on the consent agenda.
- Property purchase: Council approved an agreement to purchase 1.03 acres at 107 Guthrie Way (parcel 0614078) for $3,000,000; the purchase will include furniture and was approved by motion.
- Fire Station 85 procurement: Chief Murphy introduced project manager Tim Simons, who described an RFP process that produced 14 qualifying proposals. The evaluation recommended Mesia Construction (transcribed elsewhere in the record as "Meege Construction") as the construction manager at risk for Fire Station 85; the procurement amount discussed was $422,500. Council moved and approved the procurement and appointment.
- North Hill Path: Public works staff recommended awarding the North Hill Path contract on North Parkway (North Hill subdivision) to Backbone Enterprises for $943,416 after disqualifying the lowest bidder, Corbett Group, for not meeting GDOT prequalification; council approved the award.
- Drake Pavilion repairs: Staff reported hidden rot in a truss that required replacement and a $43,140 change order (estimated 6‑week lead time for a specialized truss). Council approved that change order and noted the pavilion will remain usable for events while repairs proceed.
Each item was approved during the meeting by motion; most passed by voice vote and the transcript records motions, seconds and that the motions carried. Where the transcript records specific vote tallies (for example the alcohol ordinance item), they are noted in the separate article on that topic.
