One of the last things that was done just before our last town manager resigned we spent 91,288 for just 2 conceptual designs for the Lighthouse Dr bridge: “Resolution approving a proposal from Engenuity Group, Inc. for professional engineering services associated for development of two conceptual designs for the reconstruction of the Lighthouse Drive Bridge at a total cost of $91,288; authorizing execution of all required document; and authorizing a budget amendment to fund the purchase.”
One of the last things our last manager did before resigning was:
“Resolution approving a proposal from Engenuity Group, Inc. for professional engineering services associated for development of two conceptual designs for the reconstruction of the Lighthouse Drive Bridge at a total cost of $91,288; authorizing execution of all required document; and authorizing a budget amendment to fund the purchase. “
Then the Village gave 2GHO 83,439 for 2GHO to do a traffic study “Lukasik explained that the resolution would approve an amendment to a contract with Gentile Glas Holloway O’Mahoney & Associates, Inc. (2GHO) for Lighthouse Drive Streetscape/Traffic Calming Design Services (Task 3) in the amount of $84,349.”
175k spent so far and the best the came up with is replacing the 36′ wide bridge with a 65′ wide one.
We got a grant for 270k in March 2004 and Karen Marcus was placed on the committe to rank the repondants…
