Local brief
Twelve spots on the $36,100 repair list
New Macland sidewalks, catch-basin repairs and Springdale asphalt are in a proposal headed to the council Nov. 16. Public Works recommends the lowest of three listed quotes.
Sidewalk sections, catch basins and an asphalt patch at 4285 Springdale Circle are among twelve repair sites in a $36,100 proposal scheduled for Powder Springs City Council consideration Monday, Nov. 16.[1][2]
Public Works recommends DAF Concrete, whose total is the lowest in the department's bid comparison. S.H Creel Contracting quoted $41,244, and Ardito Construction quoted $45,778.50. The proposed resolution would pay for the work from the city's Repairs and Maintenance budget; it is not an approved contract.[1][2]
DAF's itemized repair quote, dated Oct. 23, lists sidewalk work at 3847 New Macland Road, sidewalk and curb work at 3629 New Macland Road, and sidewalk repairs at 3751/3753 Gardenwick Road. Another repair site is across from 3623 New Macland Road.[1]
Curb repairs are listed at 3783 Lindley Circle and 3715 Forest Hill Road, with curb-and-gutter work at the Sweetwater Avenue bridge between Teal Circle and Lagrone Street.[1]
Catch-basin tops would be repaired across from 4851 Steeplechase Drive, at 4329 Marietta Street and at 4038 Brownsville Road. The quote also includes work on the throat of a catch basin at 3300 Caley Mill Drive.[1]
The largest individual site item is $8,500 for asphalt repair at 4285 Springdale Circle. Traffic control and mobilization add $5,000 apiece. The agenda and DAF quote do not establish when construction would begin or finish.[1][2]
The council meeting begins at 7 p.m. at City Hall, 4483 Pineview Drive. Residents wishing to comment can sign up in person from 6:40 to 7 p.m.; the first twelve people registering receive five minutes each.[2]
