recommendation of approval. Motion by: Sandra Arafet, 2nd by George Douglas.
Approved unanimously.
2. Sugden Park Pathway Update: The pathway design was completed by the firm of
Trebilcock Consulting Solutions, PA. The estimated cost of construction is
determined to be $292,537.07. CRA staff is in discussions with the Parks and
Recreation Department regarding the possibility of a partnership to fund the pathway.
Electronic designs are available if anyone is interested.
3. Engineering Services Karen Drive Stormwater Grant:
The CRA was awarded grant funding in the amount of$350,000. The reason we are
requesting funding from the MSTU is that Q. Grady Minor was not procured with the
required grant language in the bid when the County asked for continuing contract
engineers to perform services. That is the only way the grant can pay for their
services.
Grady Minor's services will be to review the bid package, determine probable cost,
review the bids, conduct the pre-bid meeting, oversee the construction and address
any construction questions as they arise. They also review the progress payments to
ensure the contractor is billing only for the work that was performed. Once
construction is complete, they will provide a set of as-built's for our files.
Motion to approve Engineering services in the amount of $9,639.00 in order to
receive grant funding in the amount of $350,000 to be used for stormwater
improvements on Karen Drive. Sheila Dugan made the motion, Bob Messmer second.
Unanimous.
4. Christmas Lighting and Decorations: Staff brought up solar lighting for Christmas,
buying it and continuing to use them every year. The Committee wanted staff to bring
back some ideas on the next meeting. One Christmas tree and have a lighting of the
tree for the community.
Request for Payment of Services: None other than routine operational
V. Committee Communications: Sheila Dugan had asked about the teal tile that is
around the planter on the bridge, if that would be painted as well. Staff brought it to the
advisory committee to see if they wanted quotes and designs brought back. George
Douglas made a motion to get designs and updating the tiles, Sandra Arafet, second.
Unanimous. Maurice Gutierrez also brought up the parking study that the CRA will be
doing for the businesses and public use.
