Chamblee council approves Fishbowl Park CMAR award, authorizes right‑of‑way work for Chamblee Trail
Summary
The council approved a notice of award to Reeves & Young for Fishbowl Park (pre‑construction fee $20,000; CMAR fee 9%) and authorized an agreement with Heath & Lineback Engineers for right‑of‑way acquisition for Trail segments 7–12 (amount cited in staff remarks). Both actions passed unanimously.
The Chamblee City Council approved two capital project actions: a notice of award to Reeves & Young for Fishbowl Park construction management at risk and authorization for right‑of‑way acquisition services for Chamblee Trail segments 7–12.
For Fishbowl Park the council approved awarding the CMAR contract to Reeves & Young with a pre‑construction fee of $20,000 and a construction services fee set at 9% as presented in staff comments; the motion passed unanimously.
Council also authorized the city manager to sign an agreement with Heath and Lineback Engineers to provide right‑of‑way acquisition services for trail segments 7 through 12. Staff cited an amount in the meeting transcript (both $412,000 and $412,900 are referenced in different lines); council approved the authorization and directed staff to finalize the agreement consistent with the contract terms approved by the city manager and city attorney.
Why it matters: The actions advance two public‑works projects: Fishbowl Park moves toward construction while the Chamblee Trail requires property acquisitions to advance design and construction. The right‑of‑way work enables further project planning and legal acquisition steps.
Clarifying note: The transcript contains two dollar amounts when staff introduced the trail agreement; staff follow‑up paperwork should be checked for the correct contract total before execution.
