for the Twentieth Year (1994).
Mr. Ed Aples, Engineer representing Cheatham & Associates presented
Council with a proposed street and drainage improvement application for
Briarwood Road. Mr. Aples broke the project up into a two year program
because of the cost of drainage.
In addition, Mr. Rowe replied that the city should receive $120,000 for
this year's CDBG project and stated the estimates presented before
Council are only that. Bids could come in under or above, but the first
year project is an estimated cost of $112,000 that would complete the
water line connection between the two ends and it would also include the
storm drainage. By the second year the paving portion would tie into
the already constructed underground storm drainage and complete this
project. Total estimated cost of the street over a two year period is
$250,000.
Councilman Kovach questioned if this would lock in next year's CDBG?
Mr. Rowe replied no. Mayor Abbott explained Council is being presented
with a two year plan, if council accepts the $112,000 for drainage then
council can always go to another project if it is deemed necessary.
