REQUEST FOR SEALED BID
Lawn Care Maintenance for the City of Snellville (Bid# PW200826)

SNELLVILLE — City officials broke ground on the Greenway Trail Monday, a project which will provide a trail system around the city's The Grove at Towne Center development.

"This is a great day for Snellville," Mayor Barbara Bender said. "The Greenway Trail will provide visitors and residents with a beautiful network of paths to travel to and through our downtown development project, The Grove at Towne Center. The trail system will provide a safe and convenient option to people who want to visit our city by walking and bike riding."

On July 27, Mayor and Council approved a $1.1 million contract to the Dickerson Group for Phase 1 of the Greenway Trail. City Manager Butch Sanders said about $400,000 of that money will go toward stormwater improvements in the Towne Center.

Phase 1 of the project, the Towne Center Spine, is a .7-mile trail running parallel to Wisteria Drive along a mostly dry creek bed. This greenway will serve as a "border" more or less to the rear of the Towne Center and will provide another connection from City Hall and the Senior Center to North Road, Scenic Highway and the neighborhoods abutting the north end of Snellville's downtown.

Phase 2 of the project, to begin at a later date, will travel from Oak Road to Main Street in front of First Baptist Church to Church Street to Fremont Street. It will then connect to a path off Fremont Street into the Briscoe Park public use area.

The Greenway Plan also calls for a 4.5-mile path from Snellville to Lawrenceville largely following North Road and Old Snellville Highway, which allows cyclists and pedestrians to travel on quieter roads away from the fast and heavy traffic on Highway 124 It also serves to provide additional connection to Alexander Park, just outside Snellville city limits.

There are also plans for a Main Street West / US-78 trail. At almost 5 miles in length, this is the longest and most ambitious of the greenways being planned by the city and Gwinnett County for the area. The goal is to give Snellville and the South Gwinnett area a connection to the existing trail network around Stone Mountain. This is a key connection for the future, as it links the growing Gwinnett County greenway network to the web of trails and greenways in the rest of the Atlanta Metro and beyond.

When completed, The Grove will offer luxury multi-family residential units, a parking deck, a unique City Market with special event space included, the new Elizabeth Williams Public Library and numerous dining and shopping options.

SNELLVILLE — Mayor and Council approved a millage rate of 4.588 mills Monday, a rate which has been the same for six years in a row.

The millage rate vote took place following three public hearings, including two at City Hall Monday.

Helping maintain the millage rate was new tax digest growth of $37,407,834 – just five years ago, it was only $8.86 million.

"City officials continue to look for ways to better manage the growth of the city and the rising cost of services to keep a stable millage rate," said City Manager Butch Sanders.

"It is a goal of Mayor and Council to keep taxes low and still provide a great quality of life for our residents," added Mayor Barbara Bender.

The homeowner with a home valued at $200,000 will pay $367.04 in city taxes.

In June, Mayor and Council approved a balanced budget of $13,063,295.

SNELLVILLE – Snellville Tourism and Trade has suspended all events through October with the exception of the Farmers' Market and Food Truck Friday events due to the spike in COVID-19.

"Due to the increase in COVID-19 cases and rise in hospitalizations, we feel it is important to keep the health and safety of our citizens and visitors first and foremost," STAT Executive Director Kelly McAloon said. "We feel that we cannot properly social distance at our concerts and larger events and are taking the advice of Gwinnett Newton Rockdale Health Department doctors who suggest not to have large gatherings of people, which can spread the virus, even outdoors."

The following events will be canceled until 2021:

Snellville Concert Series (Aug. 22, Sept. 26 and Oct. 10)

Star Spangled Labor Day (Sept. 5)

Taste of Snellville (Sept. 12)

Fall Festival (Oct. 24)

"Please do your part, wear a mask, social distance and wash your hands," McAloon said.

If you have any questions contact McAloon at info@snellvilletourism.com.

SNELLVILLE — Three key measures affecting the future of The Grove at Towne Center were approved by Mayor and Council Monday.

The first established the boundaries of the Snellville Towne Center Entertainment District where alcohol can be consumed outdoors. The District includes all areas in The Grove except the areas surrounding City Hall, the Snellville Police Department and the Snellville Senior Center. Once The Grove is completed and restaurants begin serving alcohol, visitors will be able to drink outside if the beverage is bought from an establishment in The Grove. The beverage must be in a paper or plastic cup no larger than 16 ounces and only one drink at a time per person may be carried out of an establishment. Alcoholic beverages must be served in the designated Snellville Towne Center Entertainment District and cannot be carried outside of the designated area or into any vehicle.

Alcohol may not be carried onto any street except during the temporary period of crossing a street inside designated crosswalks, or if the Snellville Police Department closes a street to vehicular traffic specifically for the purpose of accommodating an outdoor event. Alcoholic beverages served in the designated Snellville Towne Center Entertainment District may be carried on the sidewalk.

Mayor and Council also approved the payment of $15,000 to Winter Construction to develop a construction plan, select a contractor and provide quality control practices on the 750-space parking deck planned for The Grove. The deck, which will also have spaces for hybrid and electric vehicles has an estimated cost of $11.6 million, 3.5 percent of that cost will also go to Winter Construction.

Demolition of the current U.S. Post Office is slated for November which will make way for the parking deck. Construction on the 250-unit housing development will begin in spring. The U.S. Post Office will move to the former SunTrust Bank on Wisteria Drive which is currently being renovated.

"The city's leadership is working hard together to make sure the Towne Center is being built with quality and expediency," said Economic Development Director Eric Van Otteren.

Mayor and Council also approved a $1.1 million contract to the Dickerson Group for Phase 1 of the Greenway Trail which will creates a walking and bicycle path around The Grove at Towne Center. City Manager Butch Sanders said about $400,000 of that money will go toward stormwater improvements in the Towne Center. Mayor Barbara Bender called it "major milestone for the city."
