SUMMARY:City of Durham: Durham City Council Work Session
STATUS:CONFIRMED
DESCRIPTION:Durham City Council Work Session\n\nDurham's council spends Thursday's work session on contracts\, and the biggest is transit. A purchase from Gillig covers eight buses for GoDurham: five 40-foot diesels at $803\,691 each and three 40-foot battery-electric buses at $1\,311\,645 each\, $7.95 million in all. The electric buses cost about 63 percent more apiece than the diesels. Two more transportation items follow\, an interlocal agreement with Raleigh for bus mobile ticketing and $262\,770 toward a Triangle region transit survey.\n\nWater work is the other large number: an $11.48 million construction award to T.A. Loving for the Elizabeth Street waterline replacement\, with a contingency taking it to $12.64 million\, and a sixth amendment to the Hazen and Sawyer engineering contract for East Durham water and sewer rehabilitation and the Belt Street stormwater project\, taking that contract to $9.53 million. The council also renews its lobbying contracts\, $480\,000 with Checkmate Government Relations for the state and $346\,000 with The Ferguson Group for Washington\, and authorizes condemnation of temporary construction easements at 710 W. Cornwallis Road and 3414 Hillsborough Road for two sidewalk and bike projects.\n\nTwo annexation hearings close the session\, MIS Durham Headquarters Two and 3815 Wake Forest Highway\, each bringing land from county into city jurisdiction with a utility extension agreement. Parks and Recreation asks to apply for a $15 million Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership grant\, and the police department presents second quarter crime figures.\n\nAgenda: https://durham.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=2&event_id=2083\nWatch: https://durham.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=2\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/1570
