Council outlines storm‑drain procurement, lakebank restoration and road resurfacing follow‑ups
Summary
Mayor Buonviri told Council the Cabana and Beach Road storm‑drain project scope exceeds procurement thresholds and will require formal bidding; the RIA has no grant period. Council also reviewed a Total Lake Care quote for bank restoration and directed staff to seek cost estimates for resurfacing several local lanes for the April CTC agenda.
Mayor Dave Buonviri told the Council on March 16 that the Town will put the Cabana and Beach Road storm‑drain project out to formal bid because the projected cost passes the procurement threshold. He said the RIA currently has no available grant period that could cover the project, leaving the Town to pursue procurement without RIA grant timing.
Councilwoman Jennifer Kuperman reported that Total Lake Care submitted a quote for North Lake and Cabana bank restoration; she will contact Richard Black to amend that quote to include a five‑foot easement and confirm pricing. Councilman Sam Miller said he followed up with Horry County to obtain cost estimates to resurface Pine Tree and Evergreen Lanes and Lake Drive; once estimates arrive, the Clerk will place the resurfacing items on the April CTC agenda for county consideration.
The minutes do not include dollar figures for the storm‑drain project or the lakebank restoration; the meeting record indicates the Council is in an informational and preparatory phase rather than making final contracting decisions. The Town also awaits final road markings from a Diamond Shores survey needed to complete related access work at Town Hall.
Next steps recorded in the minutes include completing scope review for the storm‑drain bid, amending and verifying the lake restoration quote, and placing resurfacing cost estimates on the April CTC agenda.
