Staff reports preconstruction meeting for grant-funded sidewalk and trail work; modular restroom noted
Summary
Assistant director said a preconstruction meeting took place for grant-funded sidewalk and trail work; staff estimated a roughly four-month construction window for sidewalk replacement tied to the grant and mentioned a modular restroom option for a trail area.
Staff told the committee they are under contract for a "Restore Grama" grant and a trails grant and that a preconstruction meeting had already occurred. Assistant director (speaker 2) said the work would begin soon and provided a rough schedule for sidewalk replacement and associated work funded by the grants.
She said, "We had a pre construction meeting yesterday. That work is gonna start a day. We're estimating about 4 months eviction, sidewalk replacement," and noted the project sequencing and potential cash-flow timing relative to the fiscal year. The assistant director added that modular restroom units were being considered for some sites to expedite service delivery.
Staff requested authorization to move forward with solicitations and emphasized that the grant processes have been slow in recent award cycles; they asked council/RDC members to refer potential partners and to consider public-private partnership opportunities for future capital items.
