Council approves $138,357.90 payment for completed paving work; retainer withheld
Summary
The Atlanta council approved paying $138,357.90 on CCMG pay applications for completed paving tied to a matching grant and agreed to withhold a retainer (approximately $44,000) pending completion of remaining touchups and dirt work.
At the meeting the council reviewed CCMG pay applications tied to a matching grant and approved payment of $138,357.90 for work described as complete, while withholding a retainer until remaining items are finished.
Jennifer told the council the payout request covers work already done; she also noted a retainer of about $44,000 remains on the contract. Council members discussed quality-control concerns and indicated they expect some additional cutting and repaving in one area that could require further work.
A council member moved to pay $138,357.90 for completed work and to withhold the retainer; another member seconded the motion and the council conducted a voice vote. The transcript records a voice vote (members called for "all in favor" and "opposed") but does not include a roll-call tally.
Members suggested holding the retainer until the contractor finishes the dirt work and touchups; one participant estimated the outstanding work would be less than $40,000. The council also noted new yellow striping on Walnut and discussion about striping Hopkins.
The council’s action authorizes payment for completed work; the retainer will be held pending confirmation that remaining punch-list items and quality-control checks are complete.
