MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL CALLED MEETING OF THE ATLANTIC BEACH CITY
COMMISSION HELD IN CITY HALL AT 6:15 PM ON JULY 25, 1991
The meeting was called to order at 6:15 PM by Mayor Gulliford. Present,
in addition to the Mayor, were Commissioners Cook, Edwards, Tucker and
Weldon. Also present were City Manager Leinbach, City Attorney Jensen,
and City Clerk King.
The meeting was held for the purpose of selecting a contractor to
undertake emergency repairs to the collapsed outfall line at Sherman
Point.
After opening the meeting, Mayor Gulliford reported on the meeting of
the Intergovernmental Council which he had attended the previous day in
Jacksonville City Hall. He said the City of Jacksonville would not be
able to work on the figures which will be required because of the work
load in connection with the budget but they hoped by November or
December to have a schedule indicating revenues and expenditures. He
said three members of the Atlantic Beach committee had attended the
meeting and that committee was aggressively collecting as much
information as possible.
1. Discussion and related action regarding the collapsed outfall line
at Sherman Point
Public Services Director Bob Kosoy reported he had received three price
quotes for the repair of the outfall line ranging from $68,643.00 to
$265,000.00. He said the quotes were based on plans prepared by Nadeem
Zebouni in February 1990 and, therefore, did not reflect the current
conditions. Revised plans had now been received from Mr. Zebouni.
Mr. Kosoy said he felt the existing pilings should be tested and
certified to be 12-ton pile and this would be billed separately.
Depending on the results of testing, a price would then be negotiated
for repair or replacement of the pilings. Mr. Kosoy said he had spoken
with the other beach cities and they had authorized him to proceed with
repairs under the terms of the Interlocal Agreement Creating the Duval
Beaches Regional Sewer Utility.
Mr. Kosoy recommended the city accept the proposal of T.W. Blount Jr. &
Son for this project.
Commissioner Tucker moved to authorize the City Manager to proceed to
negotiate a contract with T.W. Blount Jr. and Son Contracting Company,
subject to satisfactory check of references and any other professional
requirements the city would set forth. The motion was seconded by
Commissioner Cook.
Commissioner Edwards inquired what materials would be used and Mr. Kosoy
explained the repairs would be in accordance with the revised plans
prepared by Nadeem Zebouni, P.E.
Mr. Kosoy explained the testing of the pilings had not been included in

the proposal but that Mr. Blount had verbally indicated the price would
be approximately $500.00 per pile. Mr. Kosoy felt that probably the
last six pilings and approximately 20% of the remainder should be
tested. Mayor Gulliford suggested it may be possible to get a better
price.
Commissioner Tucker inquired about the alternate quote and Mr. Kosoy
said this was a poor option and would not be considered.
The question was called and the motion carried unanimously.
Any other business:
Commissioner Cook inquired into why the wiers in the Fleet Landing area
had been removed. Discussion ensued and the City Manager explained he
was already looking into the matter and would report back to the City
Commission. The Mayor offered to visit the Haskell Company in this
regard as soon as all the information had been obtained.
Mayor Gulliford referred to the recommendations regarding the Section H
assessments which had been brought before the City Commission for action
at the last regular meeting. He felt some more definitive action was
needed in the matter and asked that these recommendations be placed on
the agenda for the next meeting. Commissioner Tucker requested that
each recommendation be considered individually.
There being no further business to come before the City Commission, the
Mayor declared the meeting adjourned at 6:50 PM.
