City Council Report - 10 Jul 2018 special meeting Summer blacktopping awarded. Dohoney Trace work will require over half the budget of this round of paving. Price per ton spiked, from $70/ton one year ago to $83/ton this years, blamed on inflationary pressures for oil. The original estimate of the size of the Dohoney Trace project significantly underestimated. Complete list of streets to be paved in complete article. Click on headline for story with photo(s) By Ed Waggener The Columbia City Council voted to accept the only bid received for street blacktopping despite two financial jolts, 1) the price of blacktop increased from $70 per ton last year, to $83 per ton this year, and 2) The overall cost of blacktopping Dohoney Trace in Holladay was significantly underestimated. Gaddie-Shamrock of Columbia, KY, submitted a base bid of $189,323.00, with additional paving materials needed at $83/ton. The bid was dated July 9, 2018, and was valid for 30 days, in light of which the council made its decision. Prices could go up, they reasoned. Council Member Mark Harris moved for acceptance of the bid, remarking that the cost might increase if any part of it were delayed. Council Member Ronald Rogers provided a second for the motion, and the three other members present, Craig Dean, Craig Lasley, and Pam Hoots concurred in the voice vote which followed. Council Member Linda Waggener, who had already made prior commitments before being contacted of the proposed meeting, was absent. Two streets, Pleasant View Drive which connects Lowe's Lane to Russell Road, a distance of 485', and Dohoney Trace, 2364', will get be 2" paving. The other streets will receive 1" deep paving. They are Center Street, Smith Street, Watson Street, Wain Street, Denver Drive, Mullinix Drive, Mack Street, Parrott Avenue, Shady Lane, Short Street, and Street Department Lot. The City is unsure of how much grant money may be obtained toward the project, but Mayor Curtis Hardwick said that he expects from $40,000 to $80,000 to come in, later. If worse comes to worse, he said, the City General Fund could provide any shortfall. The reasoning which pervaded the meeting was that they did not want the best of the paving season to go by as it has in some past years, that the economic development in Holladay Place is going too well not to deliver the expected and promised improvement, and the city faces the possibility of continued volatility on the inflation front. A question: Because of the differences in County Policies on accepting new streets and roads into the county road system, Pinewood Shopping Center's cost of Street Construction was paid for by the developers. The City requirements are less stringent. Do you think the city should adopt a policy similar to that of the county, and require all roads in new developments to be be completely finished before the streets become part of the city's street maintenance program? Or do you think the present system is working and could be considered good economic development investments? - EW This story was posted on 2018-07-10 20:13:29
