Council authorizes design contract for Madison Street groundwater plant; packet lists proposal figure incomplete in transcript
Summary
Council approved a resolution to engage Lord & Sergeant for schematic design and construction documents for renovations to the Madison Street groundwater facility, to be funded from 2018 SPLOST funds; the amount in the spoken record appears truncated and the packet should be consulted for the full contract figure.
The Dublin City Council authorized entering into an agreement with Lord & Sergeant to provide architectural and engineering services for renovations to the city’s groundwater treatment facility on Madison Street.
Staff described the plant as an older, critical groundwater facility that serves the city’s deep wells and can operate as an emergency source when surface supplies are constrained. The authorization covers schematic design, development of construction documents and construction administration; council members were told the work will be paid from the 2018 SPLOST (sales-tax) funds earmarked for utilities projects.
The staff presenter referenced a proposal amount in the meeting packet, but the number spoken in the transcript appears truncated (the transcript reads "$142,40"). The packet in council materials contains the proposal; council approved the authorization and directed staff to proceed with contract negotiation and any subsequent change orders as needed.
Councilman Griggs moved and Councilman Jones seconded the motion to authorize the contract, and the council approved the measure. Staff and members emphasized the facility’s age and the need to bring the plant up to current standards before bidding construction work.
