Council adopts phase 3 sidewalk repairs, accepts contractor bid and authorizes assessments
Summary
Greenville—ity Council approved a resolution declaring the necessity to repair sidewalks under sidewalk project phase 3, accepted America's Decorative Concrete LTD as the contractor, and explained the assessment process and homeowner options, including a July 15 target for homeowners to complete work before city contractor steps in.
Greenville City Council on June 17 adopted a resolution declaring the necessity to repair certain sidewalks as part of the city—ootpath "phase 3" project and accepted a contractor bid for the work.
Council voted to accept America's Decorative Concrete LTD as the contractor for phase 3, a contract described by staff as a maximum contract that aggregates hard-quote numbers for the project. Staff said the phase uses contractor bids to provide "hard numbers" to property owners, addressing complaints from earlier phases about estimate variation.
The resolution declaring necessity allows the city to assess abutting property owners and offer payment over time; staff said that change was required by the governing sidewalk program to enable assessments and payment plans. Officials discussed a practical timeline: property owners who do the work themselves and obtain permits can complete repairs before a deadline (staff referred to July 15 as a target date) and otherwise the contractor will perform remaining work.
Council members asked procedural questions about how the program will treat city-owned sidewalks and identified adjustments such as water shut-off boxes in the sidewalk work plan. Staff said the city will continue to coordinate with property owners and accept voluntary completion when feasible.
What happened next: The resolution and the bid acceptance were adopted by roll call. Staff will move forward with the contract and continue outreach to affected property owners before contractor work begins.
