If you would take a look at the minutes, there's a motion to adopt those.

0:04

So moved.

0:05

Second.

0:06

All in favor say aye.

0:07

Aye.

0:08

Minutes are adopted.

0:10

Um obviously we have two members present today.

0:16

It wouldn't irritate either one of us if you've got something pending today.

0:22

Item number one under new business.

0:25

Contract amendment to the engineering services.

0:28

Brett, we're gonna come on up here and tell us what's got good afternoon.

0:33

Good afternoon.

0:34

Um yeah, this is a contract amendment for 120,000 120,410 to extend McGiffert's engineering services into the bid and construction phase of the Cypress Creek project.

0:46

This is uh one of the NOAA 2.0 program projects.

0:50

One of the what?

0:51

No uh 2.0 program projects.

0:54

Okay.

0:55

Um this is again kind of south of Skyland near Scotland.

0:59

So we're just extending their uh provision of services into a different phase, correct?

1:05

From which phase from design, and now we're moving towards bid and construction.

1:10

Okay.

1:11

Any questions?

1:12

No comments, none motion, second all in favor say aye.

1:18

Aye, items approved.

1:19

Number two, Brett.

1:21

Um this is a contract amendment with Duncan Coker in the amount of fifteen thousand twelve dollars.

1:27

This is due to the engineering component for a recent scope change to add um resurfacing to the bridge ramps on the um 297 bridge associated with the Jack Warner Parkway 297 intersection improvements.

1:42

This is again towards the end of Jack Warner near Newcore where the Bryant Bridges located.

1:48

Originally there the project was just gonna deal with the intersection towards the south of the bridge, but we're now resurfacing up to the bridge, those ramps will be covering the engineering costs.

2:03

Why were we not originally and we are now I'm not sure why we weren't originally, but there was we had a request at the at the last session, and I think I think it's a good proposal because here we're already having to have traffic control and do improvements at these ramps, so while we're having to mitigate traffic, it's a good time to go ahead and resurface.

2:23

We've also recently resurfaced Jack Warner Parkway in that area.

2:26

It does it really need it.

2:29

Okay, any questions comments?

2:31

I'll make a motion.

2:32

Second, all in favor say aye.

2:34

Aye, items approved.

2:36

Uh Clint, where are you at?

2:38

Come on up and tell us what you got, buddy.

2:46

Good afternoon.

2:47

Good afternoon.

2:48

Yes, sir.

2:49

So this is uh approval uh of a railroad review service agreement uh with Kansas City Southern Railroad Company to review the engineering plans for the Stillman Bull Bar Bridge Replacement Project.

2:59

So we are in the design phase right now.

3:01

We had six percent plans submitted last month, and so um we're asking for a service agreement to have the railroad review these plans, make sure it's to their standards because we're going over their railroad, and um that is what this is.

3:17

I can give just a what you sent me the note about Frontier.

3:20

Yes, sir, yes, sir.

3:20

And I don't have an objection to it.

3:22

I'm not sure I understand now.

3:23

What I got you uh so this bridge it's going over the railroad tracks.

3:27

Um they require several things, height, width, make sure they get their railroad uh through our bridge, and so it's uh it's just for uh them to review these plans uh to make sure it follows their specs.

3:42

So we're paying them.

3:43

So this is the same thing we had to do with the uh MLK Jack Warner phase three.

3:48

There's a review component that the railroad goes through that for the design from the outside consultant, and we paid fees with this that one as well.

3:58

So this is this is just a similarity.

4:00

Probably it probably hadn't come before y'all in a long time.

4:04

I don't remember the old one.

4:06

We had to change firms because they wanted a specific firm to approve it to review it, right?

4:14

Yeah, and so um we don't really have any leeway or say so in who they choose for the review.

4:24

Uh so they sent us a proposal or quote for the roughly $17,000 review fee.

4:31

All right.

4:32

So is this for them to select um a firm to to review, or is this well what exactly is the $17,000 for?

4:43

I'm sorry.

4:45

It's it's their services.

4:47

We're paying for their services to review the plan.

4:49

To review the plans, okay.

4:50

All right.

4:51

Uh we recently received some renderings uh to uh to submit with our grant application.

4:57

So this is just a a few things that we're planning on sending.

5:00

Okay, and unison, can we have the obligatory ooh?

5:09

They didn't get that bridge.

5:14

Yes, I that's for a motion.

5:22

Second.

5:23

Motion.

5:24

All in favor say aye.

5:26

Aye.

5:27

Items approved.

5:28

Thanks, Matt.

5:30

Number four, Josh.

5:37

Good afternoon.

5:38

Good afternoon.

5:39

Yes, this is a recommending uh approval for the bouncing change order from for the Meet Wright Ferry Road project to the contract of GFC construction and dominion construction.

5:48

It's a uh deduct of uh $51,966 and 36 cents.

5:55

Where's the money go?

5:58

Go back to that.

5:58

Carly.

5:59

For this one, um that funded.

6:05

Oh, so this one will go.

6:07

Well this item will go back into the bond issuance that we did for McRights Ferry Road, um, which is the 2022 C bond that what that is being paid for by TCRIC.

6:22

The question about what else is out there to close out this project is in question.

6:27

So that's that's still not conclusive.

6:30

We're still working on close out for the entire project.

6:32

Once we have that done, we will have a finalized accounting for the bond issuance and the fund in general.

6:38

Um, and we can then talk about what that amount would be at that time.

6:43

All right.

6:44

Second, all in favor say aye.

6:46

Aye.

6:46

Items approved.

6:48

Uh number five, Ms.

6:49

Michael.

6:55

This is a request for a minor public works contract with Green Acres Landscaping LLC, and this is from or for some work to be done in the right-of-way off of um Lake Vista Drive.

7:05

There's no slide for this one.

7:06

Um, this was when we were doing a waterline repair, and we had to pair up some driveway and landscaping in that area, and so this is to have this contract put the the ornamental driveway back in the landscaping, those things where we had to tear it up for repair.

7:20

10,700.

7:22

Yes, sir.

7:23

Questions, comments?

7:24

No question.

7:25

Motion second.

7:26

All in favor say aye.

7:28

Aye.

7:29

Items approved.

7:32

Mr.

7:33

Garney, item number six.

7:35

Yes, sir.

7:35

So this is a request for professional services contract.

7:38

Oh, doesn't that make y'all miss Mr.

7:40

Crow saying Eva Kwa?

7:45

It is making me a little sentimental.

7:48

Go ahead.

7:52

Uh for uh intermediate wastewater treatment program at list stations two and thirty-three.

8:03

Um this is uh operationally covered in the budget out of the work outside services uh budget.

8:11

Okay.

8:12

Um the amount is 120,000.

8:19

Um some detail.

8:21

Um typically this contract has served four lift stations.

8:27

Um we did a we approved a trial back in October to use another vendor for the same service for listations 39 and 41.

8:36

That trial went well.

8:38

They monitored and reported and showed reduction in uh gases, which is the you know, the mid that's what we're using this for to mitigate gases, which can deteriorate the downstream infrastructure and cause odors and things like that.

8:51

So I say that because we'll be coming again with another contract in a couple weeks for those other two items.

8:59

Just wanted to make you aware of that.

9:02

Any questions, comments?

9:07

Um and Vicky or uh Brandy, I'm not I'm not I don't have a great uh batting record today already, but I don't think there's page numbers on these pages there.

9:19

I'm not there might not be supposed to that's uh when I got called out for that, and I had the packets around that.

9:25

I apologize.

9:28

Okay, motion second.

9:29

All in favor say aye.

9:31

Aye, items approved.

9:32

Thanks, Brian.

9:34

Yes, sir.

9:34

I'm I got another one up here.

9:36

Um number seven, yes, sir.

9:38

Uh Garden Road Sewer project.

9:40

Uh this is change order number one.

9:42

Uh Garner Ridge sewer project is between Hargo Road and Highway D2 generally uh on the southern side of town.

9:52

Um the scope of that project was rehab of 40 man holes and rehab of two miles of large zoners sewer.

10:00

We did an assessment in 2021.

10:02

That was what this program was based on.

10:05

So during construction, it was determined.

10:08

Look, we figured out that seven of these manholes that we're going to rehab, they're beyond the point of rehab, so we're gonna have to replace them fully.

10:16

And so this is what that change order covers.

10:18

The cost is 424,666.

10:25

Raises the the contract price to roughly 3.8 million.

10:29

There is budget in the uh the project account to cover it.

10:34

Um it'll also add 150 days to accommodate giving 150 days.

10:38

Yes, sir.

10:39

So project will now finish in uh October 2nd.

10:42

It's a new contract deadline.

10:44

Um we're going to repair the door by replacing the hinges with a continuous hinge and add a door closer.

12:10

Uh the contract amount is $2,827.

12:14

Okay.

12:15

And money, where's it coming from?

As associated with our uh new warehouse on James I.

12:34

Harrison, uh, we've got some work we need to do to get um a washer and dryer set up inside the facility, part of our custodian.

12:43

Part of our duties for the custodians to wash the dry mop heads, keep those in circulation.

12:48

We need to um remove some existing plywood that was on the wall where they had a detergent uh mixing apparatus as well as remove some anchor bolts from the floor and an equipment pad from the floor.

12:58

We're gonna install the sink, plumbing for the washer, and add the dryer outlet.

13:03

How much we talk about?

13:04

7400.

13:06

How are y'all?

13:21

Good.

13:22

How are you?

13:22

Good.

13:23

So this is uh uh authorization for the mayor to execute a cooperative agreement um for our recycling grant.

13:29

It's that time of year again.

13:30

This is between the city, the county, para, Shelton, and the UA.

13:35

They're our recycling partners.

13:37

What do we do as partners?

13:39

Uh so we all apply together.

13:41

We get we all ask for different things, and then whatever money we get is allocated.

13:45

Um, so it's partnership and funding yes, sir.

13:50

All right, Mr.

13:52

Eaton.

13:52

No, sir.

13:53

No question, I make a motion.

13:54

Second, all in favor say aye.

13:56

Aye, items approved.

13:58

Uh Mr.

13:59

Merrick, still up number 12.

14:01

This is the actual grant.

14:02

Um, it is up to 400,000 dollars with uh no match from the city.

14:07

We've been pretty pretty lucky so far with this.

14:10

What's some recent numbers?

14:12

Um 423,000 last year.

14:15

I want to say maybe around another 400,000 the year before.

14:19

Yes, and then a certain amount, I think 150 with hours, and we split it just depends on what they allocate for match of our partner.

14:26

There is no match, yes, sir.

14:28

Any questions?

14:28

No question, I make a motion.

14:29

Second, all in favor say aye.

14:31

Aye, items approved.

14:34

Uh Jason, uh Mr.

14:36

Foster, number 13.

14:38

Absolutely.

14:39

This is uh for uh change order number four.

14:43

Uh for uh there's an application that uh urban development uses for permitting and planning called blueprints, and this is to have the company create some automations that will take all the files that are in that and dump them uh into a local repository on a weekly basis.

15:04

How much is it?

15:06

It is twelve hundred and sixty dollars question.

15:10

I make a motion.

15:11

Second, all in favor say aye, aye.

15:13

Items approved.

15:15

Um Mr.

15:17

Williams, item number 14.

15:22

I got it, leaves at the uh site doing the OEC today, Mr.

15:25

Busby.

15:26

Uh this first one I've got three for Savings Center.

15:29

Uh this first one is a deductive change order for the exhibit fabrication and installation uh for 2.8 million or 28699 twelve.

15:39

Uh we're gonna take that scope out of 1220, and uh we'll be using that money uh for another one that's coming up next.

15:47

Okay, so it's just disappearing momentarily, yes, sir.

15:51

All right, any questions?

15:52

No, sir.

15:52

I'll make a motion.

15:54

Second, all in favor say aye.

15:56

What why are we doing this?

15:57

Why are we moving it?

15:58

It's to help with the schedule of getting the exhibits fabricated and installed in the savings center.

16:04

So we're bringing in another fabricator installer to do this particular scope of work.

16:08

Okay, so we're changing the provider of this particular what are we calling them?

16:14

Uh the the exhibits.

16:15

Exhibits, yes, sir.

16:18

More to be revealed next.

16:20

Yes, sir.

16:20

This next one is to add the two million eight sixty-nine nine twelve uh to a contract with 49 degrees, they will perform this scope of work that we just removed from 1220's contract.

16:32

So we'll have two providers.

16:33

Uh so there's no no change in the in the dollar spent, just uh taking it from one and giving it to another to perform that scope of services.

16:40

So what's the suspense date we're working towards the what's the uh deadline?

16:46

They will start in January of 27 installing exhibits and will be complete in uh late summer, early fall of 27.

16:55

So we'll have about an eight nine month uh installation of all the exhibits once the building is complete later this year.

17:01

Okay, and by spread loading that amongst two providers, we're staying on that track.

17:04

Is that right?

17:05

Yes, sir.

17:07

No penalties money-wise, no sir.

17:10

Changing the contract wise, no sir, no changes, no net change.

17:14

Okay.

17:15

Any questions, Ms.

17:16

Streetman?

17:16

No, sir.

17:18

Motion.

17:19

All in favor say aye.

17:20

Aye.

17:21

Item is approved.

17:25

Let's see.

17:26

Where does that leave us?

17:28

One more.

17:29

One more.

17:30

Item number 16.

17:32

Yes, sir.

17:33

Amendment number three to Davis Architects contract.

17:37

So this one is an ad to Davis's um architectural engineering contract of 419,88.50.

17:46

Uh this is related to uh changes with the location of the Saban uh exhibit.

17:53

Uh we're moving that from the lobby in the lowest level over to the temp exhibit space on the uh northeast side of the building, and then moving the temp exhibit space up to a shell space that we had on the second level directly above where it was located on the first level.

18:13

And that that move is costing us 419,000.

18:17

Yes, sir.

18:18

Why the we have to redesign the spaces to accommodate the lobby now?

18:26

Everything that was in the lobby is now going over to the temp exhibit space for these exhibits to be installed there, and I will say that this is being paid for with funding from donors.

18:40

I believe that change was done in October.

18:43

Yes, sir.

18:44

When the budget was changed back in October for the Savings Center project.

18:48

That change was done in October.

18:50

The the budget was changed in October.

18:52

The money number.

18:53

The money.

18:53

But not the decision to change it from.

18:56

No, sir.

18:57

That's what we're doing.

18:58

What's behind that?

18:59

What's going on?

19:00

So the I think the we can tell the full story is that the um the onus to make this change was created uh last fall, and that we were um that we basically were telling all of our donors that if we if this changes what is needed to be made, then the donors will have to pay for it.

19:22

The city's not going to pay for it.

19:23

And so that's what prompted the initial donation that we then increase the budget for in October that Jonathan's talking about.

19:31

So back in October, we knew this was circling as a potential.

19:36

Is that right?

19:37

Yes, sir.

19:37

And we had we briefed the donors at that time, whose I assume these donations are site line specifically to this facet.

19:47

Is that right?

19:48

Correct.

19:48

Yes.

19:48

And they were briefed, Audrey, that if that that change was a potential, yes.

19:56

And if it came about, then they would have to cover it.

19:58

They would cover.

20:00

Yes, exactly.

20:01

Okay.

20:01

Any ripple effects on others not covered?

20:04

No.

20:05

Actually, this helps in so many ways with logistics and the whole movement.

20:09

And um pulling the traveling exhibit upstairs actually is right there next to our loading dock, so it makes ease of changing those exhibits out much more simple.

20:20

And it's also on the same floor as the other main attractions in the building.

20:26

So it really works perfectly now.

20:32

Mr.

20:32

Bogby, the the council was briefed in executive session and the negotiations on this in last fall surrounding the opportunity that we had.

20:42

So I just I wanted you to not just the don't I appreciate that and I won't challenge you.

20:47

Um I will I just wanted you to know I'll acknowledge that it is a possibility.

20:52

Yes sir.

20:53

Yes, sir.

20:54

And it's a probability, but yes, sir.

20:56

But for a man who can't remember what he had for breakfast this morning understood.

21:00

Mr.

21:01

Eatman, you have any questions?

21:02

No, sir.

21:02

I'll make a motion.

21:03

I didn't know just a movement.

21:05

So when will we get a walk through?

21:07

Yeah.

21:08

When you want to do that, you're ready.

21:09

Yeah.

21:10

Oh, yeah.

21:10

Any time you tell me.

21:12

Yeah, I can't even remember the last time I saw it.

21:15

So I guess it's a roof on it now, right?

21:17

Well, the roof, yeah, but the steel's going up for the for the second and third level, the mezzanine.

21:23

So uh it's changed quite a bit since you were out there last time.

21:26

So anytime y'all want to make a trip, we can do that.

21:29

Yeah, sure.

21:30

Okay.

21:31

Y'all just let me know.

21:32

Absolutely.

21:34

Okay.

21:35

Public Comments & Testimony

  • No public comments or testimony were recorded during this meeting transcript.

Discussion Items

  • Engineering Services Contract Amendments

    • Brett presented a $120,410 amendment to McGiffert to extend services from the design phase to the bid and construction phase for the Cypress Creek project (NOAA 2.0 program, near Skyland and Scotland).
    • Brett presented a $15,112 amendment to Duncan Coker for engineering services regarding resurfacing of ramp access on the 297 bridge at the Jack Warner Parkway intersection. The scope change responded to a recent request to utilize existing traffic control mitigation efforts to resurface the ramps, in addition to the nearby Jack Warner Parkway resurfacing.
    • Clint presented a service agreement with Kansas City Southern Railroad Company for approximately $17,000. This covers the railroad's mandatory review of engineering plans (at 6% submission) for the Stillman Bull Bar Bridge Replacement Project. The review ensures compliance with railroad standards for height, width, and clearance. Staff noted the city has no leeway in selecting the reviewing firm.
    • Item 16: An amendment of $419,885 to Davis Architects for the Saving Center project. This funds a redesign to relocate the Saban exhibit from the lobby to a temporary space, moving the existing temporary exhibit to a shell space on the second level. Staff explained that donors were briefed in October regarding this potential change and agreed to cover the costs if it occurred. The relocation is intended to improve logistics and proximity to the loading dock and other main attractions.
  • Contractors and Change Orders

    • Josh presented a deductive change order of $51,966.36 from the Meet Wright Ferry Road project contract (GFC and Dominion Construction). Funds are returned to the 2022 C-bond issuance (funded by TCRIC); final accounting is pending project closeout.
    • Mr. Garney presented a $10,700 minor public works contract with Green Acres Landscaping LLC to restore ornamental driveways and landscaping on Lake Vista Drive following waterline repairs.
    • Mr. Garney presented a $120,000 professional services contract for intermediate wastewater treatment program lift stations (L2 and L33). A previous trial for stations 39 and 41 showed success in gas reduction, with a future contract for those stations anticipated.
    • Item 14: Discussion regarding the Savings Center exhibit fabrication. A deductive change order removed $286,991.12 from contractor 1220. A subsequent change order added the same amount to 49 Degrees. The scope remains unchanged in total cost; the shift is to ensure the schedule of January 2027 to late summer/early fall 2027 is met by utilizing two installers.
    • Item 16: A change order of $424,666 for the Garner Ridge sewer project (Hargro Road to Highway D2). This covers the full replacement of seven manholes deemed beyond rehabilitation. The contract total is raised to approximately $3.8 million, adding 150 days to the schedule (completion October 2nd). Funding is sourced from the 2025 B bond.
  • Other Contracts and Agreements

    • A professional services contract with Herndon Hicks for $7,900 to survey the Hopkins building (sold to Mr. Paton) for American Land Title Association purposes.
    • Item 12: A $2,827 contract to repair wind-damaged doors at the Fletcher wastewater plant, including hinge replacement and closer installation, funded by water and sewer repairs.
    • Item 13: A $7,400 contract to install a washer and dryer for custodial duties at the new warehouse on James I. Harrison, involving plumbing and anchor bolt removal.
    • Item 15: Authorization for the mayor to execute a cooperative recycling grant agreement with the county, Pearl, Shelton, and UA. The city contributes no match; recent allocations have been around $400,000-$423,000.
    • Item 16 (Second): A $1,260 change order for Blueprints software automation to weekly dump files into a local repository.
  • Procedural Remarks

    • Council member Mr. Bogby acknowledged that the Savings Center layout changes were discussed in executive session last fall and that negotiations were transparent. He noted the decision was a "probability" based on prior donor briefings.
    • Staff invited council members for a walkthrough of the Saving Center, noting the roof is complete and steel is being erected for the second and third levels.

Key Outcomes

  • Minutes Adopted: The previous minutes were adopted unanimously.
  • 15 Contract and Change Orders Approved: All presented items regarding engineering, construction, landscaping, and professional services were approved via motion, second, and unanimous voice vote ("Aye").
  • Timeline Updates: The Garner Ridge sewer project deadline extended to October 2nd. The Savings Center exhibit installation is scheduled to begin in January 2027.
  • Funding Confirmation: The Savings Center redesign costs ($419,885) are confirmed to be covered by donor funds based on prior agreements. Recycling grant funds require no city match.
  • No Objections: No members expressed opposition to any items during the discussion or voting process.

Meeting Transcript

If you would take a look at the minutes, there's a motion to adopt those. So moved. Second. All in favor say aye. Aye. Minutes are adopted. Um obviously we have two members present today. It wouldn't irritate either one of us if you've got something pending today. Item number one under new business. Contract amendment to the engineering services. Brett, we're gonna come on up here and tell us what's got good afternoon. Good afternoon. Um yeah, this is a contract amendment for 120,000 120,410 to extend McGiffert's engineering services into the bid and construction phase of the Cypress Creek project. This is uh one of the NOAA 2.0 program projects. One of the what? No uh 2.0 program projects. Okay. Um this is again kind of south of Skyland near Scotland. So we're just extending their uh provision of services into a different phase, correct? From which phase from design, and now we're moving towards bid and construction. Okay. Any questions? No comments, none motion, second all in favor say aye. Aye, items approved. Number two, Brett. Um this is a contract amendment with Duncan Coker in the amount of fifteen thousand twelve dollars. This is due to the engineering component for a recent scope change to add um resurfacing to the bridge ramps on the um 297 bridge associated with the Jack Warner Parkway 297 intersection improvements. This is again towards the end of Jack Warner near Newcore where the Bryant Bridges located. Originally there the project was just gonna deal with the intersection towards the south of the bridge, but we're now resurfacing up to the bridge, those ramps will be covering the engineering costs. Why were we not originally and we are now I'm not sure why we weren't originally, but there was we had a request at the at the last session, and I think I think it's a good proposal because here we're already having to have traffic control and do improvements at these ramps, so while we're having to mitigate traffic, it's a good time to go ahead and resurface. We've also recently resurfaced Jack Warner Parkway in that area. It does it really need it. Okay, any questions comments? I'll make a motion. Second, all in favor say aye. Aye, items approved. Uh Clint, where are you at? Come on up and tell us what you got, buddy. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Yes, sir. So this is uh approval uh of a railroad review service agreement uh with Kansas City Southern Railroad Company to review the engineering plans for the Stillman Bull Bar Bridge Replacement Project. So we are in the design phase right now. We had six percent plans submitted last month, and so um we're asking for a service agreement to have the railroad review these plans, make sure it's to their standards because we're going over their railroad, and um that is what this is. I can give just a what you sent me the note about Frontier. Yes, sir, yes, sir. And I don't have an objection to it. I'm not sure I understand now. What I got you uh so this bridge it's going over the railroad tracks. Um they require several things, height, width, make sure they get their railroad uh through our bridge, and so it's uh it's just for uh them to review these plans uh to make sure it follows their specs.
