Hogansville council backs full gazebo rebuild, asks staff to refine design and pricing
Summary
Council reviewed repair and rebuild bids for the downtown gazebo, learned a $10,000 charitable donation would reduce the city's rebuild cost to $13,700 for the lowest bidder, and directed staff to obtain revised pricing incorporating requested design modifications before final approval.
Mayor Jake Ayers and the Hogansville City Council reviewed competing bids and expressed support for a full rebuild of the downtown gazebo at the July 20 work session.
Council materials show Caleb Stanley Company submitted the lowest bid for both repair and rebuild options. Council was informed that a $10,000 charitable donation is available to be applied toward a full rebuild, reducing the City's cost for the lowest rebuild bid to $13,700. Council discussed design modifications to create a more open, modern appearance, including exposing the rafters at an additional cost of approximately $1,000, removing the railings, modifying the roof pitch, and constructing the structure on a raised concrete slab foundation to improve longevity.
Council did not authorize construction at the meeting; instead, members directed staff to obtain revised pricing that reflects the proposed design changes and return the project for final approval. No formal motion or vote is recorded in the minutes; the record states the council "expressed support" and assigned staff follow-up.
