(A) SURVEY EQUIPMENT
It is requested that Council approve the purchase of two (2) GS14 Rover survey
units from Leica Geosystems, Inc., (Norcross, GA) in the amount of $27,608.00.
The survey equipment currently used by the Engineering Department was purchased
in 2009. The department?s two surveying crews have one surveying unit per
crew. These units are used to survey: storm water inventories, landfill, City
right-of-ways, current and future projects.
One of the units? modem has gone out and cannot be repaired or replaced. With
the constant changes in technology, parts availability for this equipment is no
longer an option. Therefore, it is necessary to replace both units due to
obsolescence.
The City purchased the last two units from Leica Geosystems; the vendor is
offering a 10% trade-in discount for the old units as follows:
2 units ($17,255) each $34,510.00
Less 10% Trade-in Discount -6,902.00
Total Cost $27,608.00
Funds are budgeted in the FY14 Budget: Sewer Fund ? Engineering ? Drainage ?
Machinery; 0202 ? 250 - 2300 ? DRAN ? 7715.

personal computers are being replaced, as needed, with Virtual Machine WYSE
devices justifying the necessity for additional servers to manage and operate
these devices.

is considered the only known source for this purchase per the Procurement
Ordinance, 3-114.

( E ) MA RAINEY HOUSE BALCONY REHABILITATION
It is requested that Council approve payment to Brasfield and Gorrie in the
amount of $48,212.00 for the rehabilitation of the Ma Rainey House Balcony.
In October 2011, the Engineering Department received a call from the Ma Rainey
House notifying that the balcony was sagging and wooden pillars were being
utilized to hold up the corner. The Parks and Recreation Department requested
that the Engineering Department obtain estimates for the repair of the
balcony. The highest estimate was approximately $33,000. At the time neither
the Ma Rainey Foundation nor Parks & Recreation had the money to fund the work.
In October 2013 the Ma Rainey Foundation met with the City Manager?s Office,
Parks and Recreation and Engineering Departments to request funding for the
rehabilitation of the balcony due to its further deterioration. The estimate
from 2011 was presented, as well as an estimate from the original architect,
Ken Levy, who gave a rough estimate of $75,000 - $150,000. Since there was a
significant range in the cost estimates, the Engineering Department looked for
other options.
At the time, Brasfield & Gorrie was working on the Cusseta Road Pedestrian
Bridge and the Engineering Department asked the vendor to look at project.
Brasfield and Gorrie had done similar work in column stabilization at the River
& Phenix condos and could provide a more accurate estimate of the cost for the
rehabilitation. In November 2013, the vendor provided a quote in the amount
of $48,212 to perform the work.
City staff decided the estimate was feasible; it was further decided to utilize
funding from the proceeds of Legacy Terrace since the building is located in
the Liberty District and the proceeds from the Legacy Terrace was designated
for Liberty District Improvements.
Funds are available in the FY14 Budget: Special Projects/Capital Project Fund
? Capital Projects ? General Fund Supported Capital Projects ? General
Construction ? Ma Rainey Stabilization; 0508 ? 660 ? 1000 - CPGF ? 7661 ? 22936
- 20140.
