Council approves $1.82M paving contract, reallocates scope to add city-hall ADA work
Summary
The council awarded a SPLOST paving contract (approx. $1.82 million) to the recommended bidder and approved an amendment to reallocate part of the scope and capital funds to improve ADA access at city hall; council and staff clarified funding restrictions on T-SPLOST and LMIG funds.
Council considered contract bids for a Transportation SPLOST (T-SPLOST) paving project and approved the recommended contractor after an amendment to the project scope.
City staff said the RFP drew seven bidders and the recommended proposal came in near $1,820,000. A council member moved to remove Riverlake Drive from the contract scope and redirect those funds to additional paving and ADA improvements at city hall; staff and legal counsel discussed funding restrictions, noting that T-SPLOST and LMIG monies are restricted to roadway improvements and that any non-roadway work would need to be paid from capital funds. Council resolved those constraints by allocating capital funds for the city-hall work and then voted to adopt item 25-037 as amended.
Council did not read a detailed roll-call vote into the record in the public transcript, but the mayor announced the motion adopted as amended.
