Ocilla council orders liquidation-damage assessment for delayed McKinley Street widening project
Summary
The council directed the mayor to proceed with a liquidation-damage assessment and hold contractor KW Underground accountable after the contractor missed the May 11, 2022 completion date for the McKinley Street widening project; the motion passed unanimously.
The Ocilla City Council directed Mayor Horace Hudgins to proceed with a liquidation-damage assessment against KW Underground after the contractor missed the project's scheduled completion date.
Hudgins told the council that "KW Underground should have completed the project on May 11, 2022 and City needs to proceed with liquidation damage assessment and hold KW Underground accountable." Councilman Steven Hudson moved that the mayor proceed with liquidation damage assessments and hold KW Underground accountable; Councilwoman Patrice Y.W. Manley seconded the motion. The council voted unanimously in favor.
The action formally authorizes the mayor and staff to assess damages related to the contractor's delay; the meeting minutes do not specify the amount of potential liquidated damages, a deadline for completing the assessment, or next legal steps. The council did not vote to terminate the contract at the public meeting.
