#1 WARSAW WASTEWATER & STORMWATER PROJECT

Mayor Simpson reminded everyone that bids had been opened at noon on January 25^th. Tonight’s meeting had been called to award the contracts. Mayor Simpson explained that at a meeting today held in Frankfort between the Department of Local Government (CDBG), Bill Meadows, Ken Palisan and Carolyn Marksberry an omission in the Environmental Review for CDBG was discussed. Mr. Palisan had not placed the ad in the paper in time to adhere to all of the advertisement CDBG guidelines. Special approval from the Atlanta office was given late this afternoon for the contracts to be awarded as long as special language was in the contract regarding the environment review.

Councilman Jackie Giles inquired about the easements on the project and how the project could be bid if easements had not been signed. Mayor Simpson advised the majority of the easements were on city right of way and those that may not be were a secondary concern. The Mayor explained that the priority had been placed in securing the funding for the project. He advised that contracts were awarded all of the time and then easements secured.
