September 8, 1986
A special called meeting of Mayor and Council was held September 8, 1986 at
Smyrna City Hall. The meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by presiding
officer Mayor A. Max Bacon. All council members were present except for
Jack Shinall. Also present was City Attorney Charles E. Camp, City
Administrator John Patterson, Assistant City Clerk Melinda Dameron.
The purpose for this meeting was to award the bid for the relocation of
utilities for the extension of Cherokee Road.
John Patterson said that due to the construction of the Cherokee Road
extension and previous signed agreement with the Georgia Department of
Transportation, the City is required to relocate the utilities for the
construction of the extension. Bids were requested with three being
received as follows:
Z, J. E. Lovern Construction $286,982.75
Steinhauer, Inc. $342,145.00
Unity Construction $399,882.00
The apparent low bidder for the job was J. E. Lovern and after the bids
were tabulated was found to be the actual low bidder. J. E. Lovern and his
grandson David were also present.
Joel Harrell told Mr. Lovern that the reason for the special called meeting
was to discuss some concerns that had come up at the agenda meeting.
Apparently there was some misunderstanding about the specifications for
Phase I of the sewer rehab work that Mr. Lovern did and they wanted to be
sure this did not happen again. Joel said they wanted to be sure that Mr.
Lovern had reviewed and understood the specifications so that any
differences could be settled now. Mr. Lovern said he did understand the
specifications and could not foresee any problems
Mr. Lovern said he did not know the time frame for construction because
there seemed to be a lot of confusion at the pre -construction meeting with
the State. Mr. Lovern said he was doing a job at Fort McPherson and should
be through the end of this week and then would be ready to start.
Joel Harrell made a motion the contract be awarded to J. E. Lovern
Construction for $286,982.75 because of the long standing relationship they
have had in the past. Joel told Mr. Lovern that -he had done a good job in
the past and council looked forward to him continuing that good work. This
contract will be paid from the Improvements.and Extension Fund. Hugh Ragan
seconded the motion which carried 6-0.
With no further business, meeting adjourned.
