John Carrara of The Goodman Corporation today reported to the Galveston Livable Communities Steering Committee that signage for the downtown infrastructure project is being re-bid at the request of City Manager Steve LeBlanc. "Kelso's contract is now closed out," Carrara said. "So it will be whoever wins the bid." "Under Phase I, the only item that hadn't been completed was the signage," explained Bill Ross, chair of the committee. "It was in Kelso's contract to do that signage, but for whatever reason, it has taken forever to get it resolved." Allen LeCornu recalled that the problem was with the brackets to connect the signs to Reliant Energy light standards. "They were redesigned about four times," LeCornu said, adding that "non-tamperable" screws should be used to bolt the signs to the standards. "One in front of the Moody Building was stolen," LeCornu reported. "You see, the bums lift them off, then they take them down and sell them for scrap." Carrara said bids will be advertised soon for trash surrounds for Postoffice Street. The committee reviewed a conceptual drawing of the transportation terminal that will be built at 25th and The Strand. Aguirre Architects of Austin is working on the project with Gaertner & Associates of Galveston, who is consulting with the Texas Historical Commission on the facade. Photos and a recording of the meeting will be posted on The Online News Station. Hyperlinks will work if this document is read Online
