Dunwoody, Ga. – The city council of Dunwoody will discuss some contracts at his meeting on February 24, including estimates for a replacement for grass field on the Peachtree Middle School.
Almost two years ago, a committee led by citizens priorified a project to replace the damaged grass field with synthetic lawn. In the Dunwoody 2024 budget, the city put 1 million US dollars aside for the project.
At a meeting in August, the city council John Heneghan Parks and recreational staff urged why the project remains incomplete and disappointed in the informal process.
In contrast to most facilities of the DEKALB County School Systems, Dunwoody rents the sports field in Peachtree Middle School as part of a Land -Swap agreement from 2016 for the construction of Austin Elementary.
As part of the agreement, the city can use the area if the school has been completed on weekends and after extra -curricular activities. It has already installed new field lights and a storage facility.
Since the middle school is concerned with the Brook Run Park in the middle school, the city's agreement enables its leisure programs to be expanded, which is pressed in place.
The improvement project is necessary because wear has made the field for athletes of the middle school unusable and dangerous. Last autumn, a coach of Dunwoody Junior Wildcats said that his middle school soccer team had no lead of home.
In the City Personal memo, it says that “you have investigated the landscape informally because it refers to the assigned budget”.
The city received two estimates, 1.19 million US dollars from advanced sports areas and 1.23 million US dollars from Advanced Sports Group, including eventualities and takeover insurance.
The staff said that a formal prompt process could change the cost estimate.

The city council will also consider a contract for a construction manager in order to join the design process for a new maintenance facility in the Brook Run Park and prepare a construction predecessor for the project.
According to City Staff's memo, Moeller Purcell proposes a fee of $ 4,500 per month for a maximum of 12 weeks for the pre -construction phase. The contract helps with the environmentally friendly building certification of the facility, which is required by the city.
Dunwoody has 1.5 million US dollars in his Capital Projects Fund for the replacement for maintenance buildings.
Since the highest certification limit for the project's costs of 20 percent is expected, the city's employees recommend a less strict and cost -effective regional program.
In order to complete the meeting, Dunwoody officers will discuss a final budget change from 2024, which reflects unchecked income and expenses.
The changes reduce the city's deficit from an expected 620,000 to 387,000 US dollars, but the finance department says that it may not have to dive into reserves.
