Council authorizes Verdantas review of Optimist Park plans and approves Riegler street-bid parts
Summary
Council voted unanimously to send Optimist Park plans to Verdantas for preparation of a bid package and approved Verdantas’ recommendation to accept Riegler’s bid for specified street repairs on Blossom Lane, Valley View and Tracy, contingent on fiscal-year surplus.
The City of Southgate Council voted unanimously Feb. 18 to send plans for the Optimist Park Project to Verdantas for review and preparation of a bid package and to approve parts of a street-repair contract recommended by Verdantas.
During public comments, Will Weber of Southbank Partners updated the council on the Optimist Park Project and the council approved a motion (Okura/Curry) to forward the plans to Verdantas for bid preparation. Later in the meeting Jim Shumate of Verdantas reviewed bids received for a separate street project and recommended accepting the bid from Riegler to complete specified work on Blossom Lane, Valley View and Tracy. The council approved the motion to authorize Parts A, B, C and D, with the caveat that the work depends on surplus in the fiscal year to reduce the bond (Motion: Messmer/Melville; vote: Aye 6, Nay 0).
The council did not specify contract amounts in the minutes; the motion ties final authorization for some work to the availability of surplus funds in the current fiscal year. No additional contractor details or start dates were recorded in the minutes. The actions taken direct staff to proceed with bid-package preparation for Optimist Park and to move forward with the Riegler contract authorization subject to budgetary conditions.
