Council awards paving, crack-sealing contracts and funds Bunten Road Park study
Summary
Council approved multiple infrastructure procurements: Remac, Inc. was awarded a crack-sealing contract (not to exceed $112,675.19) with a matching budget amendment; Columbia Engineering was authorized to study and design Bunten Road Park trail improvements with a task order up to $217,000 funded from 2017 SPLOST interest; and the council approved reallocating $696,400 in SPLOST funds for LMIG paving alternates.
DULUTH, Ga. — At its May 8 meeting, the Duluth Mayor and Council authorized several street- and park-related contracts and budget amendments drawn largely from 2017 SPLOST interest and Transportation funds.
The council approved a recommendation from Public Works Director Audrey Turner to award a crack-sealing contract for 59 streets to Remac, Inc., accepting the low bid analysis and authorizing a contract not to exceed $112,675.19 (including a 10% contingency). Funds for the project will come from 2017 SPLOST; ordinance BA-FY23-28 was approved to add $112,700 to the FY23 budget for Transportation/Infrastructure Repairs & Maintenance.
In consent action, the council authorized Columbia Engineering to perform survey/site evaluation, hydrology study, trail design and related analyses needed to support reconstruction of the Bunten Road Park walking trail. The task order for that analysis was estimated at $198,000 with a 10% contingency for a total of $217,000; staff identified 2017 SPLOST interest as the funding source and approved ordinance BA-FY23-27 to add the funds to the Bunten Road Park project line item.
Council also approved ordinance BA-FY23-26 to allocate $696,400 in unallocated 2017 SPLOST Transportation funds to cover alternate streets added back into the 2022 LMIG paving contract by modification (including a 10% contingency). City staff noted that final SPLOST collections enabled the allocation.
Why it matters: These actions advance pavement preservation and park infrastructure planning across the city and commit SPLOST interest and transportation funds to specific projects.
What’s next: Staff will execute the Remac contract, proceed with the Columbia Engineering task order for Bunten Road Park, and coordinate paving work with the Stewart Brothers contract modifications.
