(F) NEW SCOREBOARD SYSTEM
It is requested that Council approve the purchase of a new scoreboard system
from Daktronics, in the amount of $530,700.00, to be installed at the Civic
Center.
The current scoreboard has out lived its life expectancy by 2-3 years. Due to
the age of the system, replacement parts are becoming obsolete. If a comparable
new part is found, the electronic pulse sent through the systems demands more
on the old parts which causes them to fail. The City spends roughly
$4,000-$6,000 throughout the on bulbs and modules for the scoreboard. This does
not include replacement parts for the computers which operates on DOS, nor does
it count the man hours to replace a 1,000 bulbs every few months. There are
two computers utilized, one to operate the system and one for back-up.
Presently, both computers are inoperable. Civic Center staff has contacted
Daktronics to repair the computers. However, the vendor cannot guarantee they
will be able to find the necessary parts. The Civic Center is sending both
computers back to Daktronics in hopes the vendor can salvage parts from one
computer in order to get the other computer working. Even if the Civic Center
receives a working computer, there are no guarantees as to how long it will
operate before something goes out. Hopefully, it will last until the new
scoreboard is in place, which would be approximately, November 14th; 30 days
into the Cottonmouths season.
Daktronics is the recommended vendor because the vendor installed the original
system, has been making the repairs and is already familiar with the needs and
requirements of the Civic Center.
Funds will be loaned from the General Fund, and the Civic Center FY09 Budget,
pending a budget amendment in: Civic Center Fund ? Civic Center ? Operations ?
Building Improvements; 0757-160-1000-CIVC-7663. The Civic Center will repay
the General Fund annually with Civic Center revenues.
* * * * * * *
(G) EMERGENCY REPAIRS AT GARFIELD RADIO TOWER
It is requested that Council approve payment to Motorola, in the amount of
$35,014.69, for emergency repairs at the Garfield Radio Tower.
On May 11, 2008 and June 14, 2008 the Garfield Radio Tower was hit by
lightening which caused the transmission equipment to malfunction. The 911
Center called Motorola?s repair contractor, Columbus Communications, who found
that the system was in Failsoft, consoles down and prime site co-locator
repeaters were off the air. If the problem had not been corrected immediately,
Columbus and Harris County 911 could have lost radio contact.
Funds are available in the FY09 Budget: General Fund ? Engineering ? Radio
Communications ? Miscellaneous Equipment Maintenance; 0101-250-3110-RADI-6519.
* * * * * * *
(H) ADDITIONAL SERVICES REQUIRED FOR BROWNSFIELD PROJECT
It is requested that Council approve additional services required for the
Brownsfield Project from Jordan, Jones and Goulding in an amount not to exceed
$150,000.00.
Resolution #557-01 authorized the acceptance of a $200,000 Brownfields Pilot
Project Grant to be used to Master Plan the Enterprise Zone to insure all
aspects of development are considered. Resolution #123-03 authorized the
execution of a contract with JJ&G to develop the Master Plan. The Master Plan
also identified potential contaminated sties (brownfields) within the
Enterprise Zone. The former Hardaway property was identified as a potential
Brownsfield site after the purchase of the property in 2003. As part of the
grant, the funding provided for the development of the Brownfields Corrective
Action Plan (CAP), a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) and conducted site
investigations of the property. As a result of the grant, the City entered in
the Georgia Brownfields Program as a retroactive Brownfields Prospective
Purchaser.
Additional work is required in order to satisfy the requirements of the Georgia
Brownfields Program as mandated by EPA. Additional soil and groundwater
testing and delineation work to determine what, if any, corrective action will
be necessary to certify that the on-site soils are in compliance with the
appropriate Risk Reduction Standards for the intended redevelopment.
Funds are available as follows: 1999 SPLOST Tax Project Fund ? 1999 SPLOST ?

the Library needs list. Ordinance No. 07-44, dated July 10, 2007, adjusted
funding for the library project in the amount of $6,078,148.00.
