TOWN HIRES FIRM FOR A&Y GREENWAY

...continued from p. 3 council members discussed whether Summerfield had overpaid Stewart before the termination of its contract. Town Attorney Bob Hornik said the council may want to discuss options for recouping some of the money at a later date in closed session.

Summerfield paid Stewart $360,837.14, which is 90.1% of its $400,374.00 contract with the town, according to finance officer Dee Hall. The firm billed the town another approximately $35,575, based on its estimate for completing 99% of the project. But Summerfield hasn’t paid for that amount, Hall said.

Kimley-Horn estimated that Stewart actually completed about 65% of the greenway design, Whitaker said. As a result, Hall added, “we believe we have overpaid by tens of thousands, but we are still assessing exactly how much.”

Kimley-Horn plans to redo some of the work previously done by Stewart, Whitaker said.

The town’s contract with KimleyHorn breaks down planning and engineering costs of $425,252.35 and right-of-way acquisitions services for no more than $195,500.

The contract doesn’t cover the cost for buying land from 24 property owners along the route of the greenway, according to Whitaker

The trail will start at the tunnel underneath U.S. 220 and travel about 3.6 miles through the Lake Higgins watershed and northward on Summerfield Road before reaching Medaris Street, north of Summerfield Community Park near the town’s new dog park, which is scheduled to open next month.

The existing greenway runs northward from Greensboro before passing through the tunnel underneath U.S. 220. As planned, the trail will eventually connect to the Piedmont Greenway, which will run from Greensboro to Winston-Salem.

EAGLE Scouts

Rohrer earns Eagle Scout rank

Camdon Rohrer, a member of Scouts

BSA Troop 600 based in Oak Ridge, has earned the rank of Eagle Scout.

For his Eagle Scout service project, Camdon led eight Scouts in garden revitalization by clearing winter debris and applying new mulch, installing an outdoor garden faucet, and sanding, repairing and then painting six picnic tables to enhance the outdoor area for the Triad Hindu Temple located on Alcorn Road in Oak Ridge. Using over six cubic yards of mulch to enhance the garden area, along with the new addition of the outdoor faucet, a more efficient garden irrigation area was an enhancement to assist the temple members.

This July, Camdon will participate in the Boy Scouts of America National Jamboree, which is held in Glen Jean, West Virginia, over 10 days and only occurs every four years. communitynews@nwobserver.com

Camdon is a member of the Tsoiotsi Tsogalii Lodge of the Order of the Arrow, the honor society of the Boy Scouts of America. He has held several leadership roles including Vice Chief of Communications.

A resident of Summerfield, Camdon, 17, is the son of Clyde and Cynthia Rohrer. He is a junior at Northwest High School and dual enrolled in Guilford Technical Community College.
