We
down

item
e
acceptance
and

rights
away.
Mr
o'brien.
C
Yes,
sir,
mr
chairman,
good
afternoon,
this
is
another
one
of
our
letters
to
fcdot,
saying
that
the
city
will
maintain
a
sidewalk
and
a
little
20-foot
boardwalk,
so
we
can
structure
along
bear
swamp
road.
This
is
in
conjunction
with
the
long
savannah
project,
and
this
is
was
in
the
development
agreement
between
the
city
and
the
along
savannah
land
company.
So
this
is
they're
in
the
process
of
designing
that
and
one
of
the
things
they
have
to
have
for
the
design
is
the
city's
maintenance
letter
for
scdot.
D
B
C
E
Councilman,
mr
bryant,
if
you
would
mind
checking
on
a
sign,
that's
hanging
from
a
building
on
the
corner
of
abroad
in
king
street.
On
the
south
side,
it
looks
like
a
low
hanging
sign
that
someone
just
erected-
I
don't
know
if
it
got
permission,
but
I've
seen
a
couple.
People
almost
have
to
dodge
that
sign
before
they
got
banged
in
the
head.
So
I
wish
I
knew
the
number,
but
it's
right
on
the
corner
on
the
south
side
of
broad
and
king
street.
C
C
B
F
F
D
B
F
Great,
so
we
were
basically
tasked
with
initially
with
procurement,
we're
going
to
be
procuring
a
architectural
team
and
a
contract
manager
at
risk.
A
contractor
basically,
and
initially
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
with
the
architectural
team
is
they're
going
to
be
doing
an
inventory
of
what
we
presently
have
they're
going
to
be
doing
an
assessment
of
what
we
need
moving
forward
and
then
they're
going
to
put
together
a
a
conceptual
design
that
will
allow
a
contractor
to
price
it.
F
F
F
It
takes
about
six
to
ten
months.
If
you
can
see
that
our
entire
procurement
process
takes
six
to
ten
months
to
get
a
design
team
on
board.
We
are
presently
here
february
of
2022
and
we're
in
the
midst
of
negotiating
the
the
scope
of
services
and
the
contracts
and
we're
anticipating
we'll
have
those
to
counsel.
F
So
presently,
the
design
team
will
be
doing
a
schematic
design
on
the
wr
gray
site,
which
is
the
one
that
has
the
red
line
around
it
here.
Here's
our
present
site
that
we
have
our
facilities
on
and
it
looks
like
it's
all
going
to
fit
over
there,
but
we
know
that
it's-
the
city
has
grown
a
lot
since
this
public
services
has
been
kind
of
built.
F
It
was
kind
of
on
as
needed
basis
and
there
is
going
to
be
a
land
taking
from
the
railroad
on
this
edge
over
here,
so
we're
going
to
lose
about
2.2
acres
or
2.8
acres
somewhere
in
that
vicinity
there,
and
actually
this
this
red
line
is
incorrect.
It
goes
over.
It
does
not
include
this
white
area
on
our
property
presently,
so
as
part
of
the
design
services.
F
B
D
So
emily
we
may
have
talked
about
this
and
I've
forgotten,
but,
as
you
know,
there's
some
history
of
environmental
issues
on
the
property
we're
moving
to
it's,
the
old
wr
grace
site.
It
used
to
be
a
storage
and
storage
facility
for
fertilizers,
and
so
I'm
told
did,
did
your
procurement
include
of
the
ability
to
kind
of
complete
where
we
are
with
our
vcr,
whatever
they
call
vcc
and
determine
what
environmental
actions
need
to
be
taken
before
we
develop
the
site?
If
any
so.
F
F
So
the
short
answer
is
no
nothing's
really
been
done
yet,
but
the
the
longer
answer
is
yes:
we've
taken
that
into
consideration
and
it
will
be
part
of
the
project
overall
and
just
keep
in
mind.
You
know
it's
an
industrial
use
right
now
and
we'll
be
putting
an
industrial
use
on
it.
So
you're,
not
cleaning
it
up
to
the
standards
of
say,
like
we
did,
for
the
african-american
museum,
it'll
be
a
lower
cleanup
standard.
F
You
know
to
be
honest
with
you:
it's
going
to
be
more
of
a
land
planning
exercise.
We
want
to
maximize
what
we
can
fit
on
this
site
and
some
uses
are
going
to
require
more
land
but
have
a
have
require
less
personnel
so,
for
example,
to
fry
a
training
tower.
You
know
it's
a
busy
structure,
but
it
requires
to
have
a
lot
of
land
around
it.
So
it's
kind
of
an
inefficient
use.
E
The
reason
I'm
asking
that
and
we'll
just
take
the
fire
training
tower
when
you
place
a
fire
train
tower
at
any
site.
It
includes
also
the
fire
training
facilities
as
well,
and
I
I
don't
know
what
the
exact
acreage
is
that
that
would
encompass,
but
I'm
just
wondering
out
loud.
Would
it
make
better
sense
of
that
property
to
find
another
location
for
the
fire
department
and
I'd
like
to
hear
from
chief
courier
what
his
thoughts
would
be
about
taking
all
the
fire
department,
training
and
tower
to
another
location?
E
If
that
practical,
that's
something!
We've
thought
out
a
little
bit
better
you're,
getting
something
a
little
bit
smaller
and
as
the
city
has
grown,
our
needs
a
little
bit
more
intense
and
it
seems
I
know
that
the
fire
trucks
are
serviced
there
and
I
think
that's
sort
of
what
people
looking
at
from
a
natural
progression
of
new
space.
But
I
also
just
wonder
training:
should
we
be
separated
from
the
rest
of
the
public
works
use
of
this
new
land.
F
We
are
certainly
going
to
consider
that
and,
like
I
said,
we
were
looking
at
certain
types
of
relationships,
so
we
have
fire
fleet
over
there
presently
right.
In
my
opinion,
fire
fleet
doesn't
need
to
be
connected
to
fire
training,
but
if
we
have
fleet
services
there
already
for
the
rest
of
the
city,
it
would
make
sense
to
have
fire
fleet
attached
to
that.
F
If
you
think
about
the
way
a
parts
department
works,
you
know
parts
departments
come
into
here
and
then
they
could
split
out
into
one
large
bay
or
or
different
bays,
where
the
fire
training
facility
that
seems
like
a
it
doesn't
have
to
be.
It
seems
like
more
of
a
non-compatible
use
with
everything
else
that
we're
talking
about
there
right
now.
F
A
G
E
B
F
A
F
Chairman
waring,
I
I've
I've
been
doing
site
planning
for
almost
30
years
now
and
I
would
have
to
say
first
we
need
to
know
what
all
the
requirements
are
for
the
different
departments
before
we
commit
to
something
like
that.
Okay,
I
honestly
I
have
no
idea
because
I
mean
the
needs
that
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
sir,
is
I
mean
potential
for
electric
charging
vehicles
in
the
future?
I
don't
think
we're
going
to
be
installing
those
today,
but
we
want
to
be
thinking
about
that
for
tomorrow.
So
that's
going
to
take
real
estate.
B
There's
a
conversation
I
think
we
may
have
outside
this
meeting
reason.
I'm
saying
is
the
the
site
we're
going
to
is
how
many
acres,
once
you
carve
out
a
little
light,
gray
area
that
you
said,
and
then
the
portion,
mr
mayor,
that
I
think
on
the
I
guess
it'd
be
on
the
east
side
of
the
future
property.
We're
looking
at.
B
B
If
they
were
an
alternative
site,
would
it
be
wise
to
move
forward?
This
is
something
very
very
preliminary,
but
if
there
were
a
alternative
site
that
was
larger
acreage
wise
than
the
current
site,
we
may
be
planted.
The
12
acres
that
may
have
referred
to
would
it
be
wise
to
move
forward
with
the
contracts
and
too
much
that
that
you
described
on
your
floor.
Chart.
F
I
mean
to
me:
it
makes
sense
to
continue
to
plan
with
this
piece
of
land
that
we
presently
have
and
see
after
we
go
through.
This
study
see
how
much
land
we
need
to
have
instead
of
looking
elsewhere
right
now.
I
think
you
know
with
that
timeline
of
three
years,
which
makes
me
very
very
nervous,
because
you
saw
how
long
it
takes
to
go
through
procurement.
B
G
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
so
item
h1
is,
is
basically
moving
forward
for
recommendation
of
approval
with
the
the
earhart
medical
district
tunnel
extension
that
we
talked
about
last
meeting
right.
The
first
item
is
the
recommendation
to
award
the
the
contract
or
provide
approval
to
award
the
contract,
the
construction
contract-
that's
just
under
12.5
million
dollars
and
again
that's
construction
of
that
storm
water
tunnel
drop
shaft
on
the
surface.
Tie-In
features.
G
This
also
sets
up
the
project
budget
for
a
total
project
budget
of
17.8
million
dollars,
just
over
that
again
a
little
a
little
over
9.9
million
coming
from
the
hud
cdbg
mit
grant
on
the
remainder
coming
from
the
drainage
fund.
The
remainder
does
include
the
money
the
city
has
already
spent
in
design
work
and
the
upfront
design
work
that
we
did
on
this
project
that
we
previously
passed
down,
sold.
G
B
G
I
thank
you
for
sharing,
so
this
is
the
fee
amendment
to
add
the
add
to
the
scope
of
services
for
the
professional
engineering
team.
That's
davidson
floyd
and
black
veatch
in
this
project
to
provide
the
cei
services,
construction,
contract
management,
construction
phase,
engineering
and
all
of
our
survey
verifications
again.
This
is
two
million
four
hundred
eighty
two
thousand
two
hundred
dollars.
B
H
H
In
the
same,
would
it
be
possible,
sometime
in
the
near
future,
to
get
a
report
back
from
mr
fountain
and
from
davis
and
floyd
to
black
veatch,
on
where
we
are
with
the
phase
of
design
that
they
were
proceeding
with
over
the
last
couple
of
three
or
four
years
ago
on
the
catalan
west
project?
I
know
we
have
a
contract
with
them.
They
did
a
whole
bunch
of
work
and
it
seemed
to
kind
of
stalled.
So
I
would
love
to
see
if
we
can't
get
an
update
on
that
and
maybe
revive.
G
H
B
G
This
is
the
this:
is
the
recommendation
to
approve
purchasing
the
basically
the
back
up
power
generator
for
the
facility,
so
the
main
pumps
which
we
purchased
as
owner
furnished
equipment
previously
for
about
six
million
dollars?
Those
are
those
are
diesel-driven
plumps.
They
don't
run
on
electricity
at
all,
so
they're
always
able
to
run
even
in
major
storms
and
power
outages.
G
However,
the
dewatering
pumps
and
the
basically
the
control
systems
within
the
pump
station
obviously
run
on
electricity.
So
this
is
part
of
our
phase
four
contract.
This
is
also
being
provided
as
owner-furnished
equipment.
Interestingly,
the
city
gets
a
much
better
deal
on
diesel
generators
from
cat
under
the
state
contract
than
the
contractors
are
able
to
purchase
under.
So
we're
purchasing
this
at
a
pretty
significant
cost
savings
versus
the
open
market,
which
is
why
we're
buying
it
basically
through
city
procurement
and
then
providing
it
to
the
contractor.
G
G
B
Probably
moving
second
listen,
I
mean
all
of
this
such
good
work
on
behalf
of
mayor
council
staff,
everybody
on
this
one
man,
the
governor.
I
know
I'm
forgetting
some
people,
but
thank
business.
They've
been
hearing
about
generators
and
pumps
actually
becoming
a
reality.
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
phone.
All
in
favor
of
motion
on
the
floor,
please
say
hi
hi,
indian
pools.
