At the meeting staff explained the contract covers construction management services for the addition and related alternates. Mrs. Owens presented the resolution and said staff and the architect were available for questions. Board members discussed whether to include bid alternates now or defer them; several members said it is less expensive to add alternates during this phase rather than later.

Board members and staff discussed finishes and appearance. Staff said they plan to present three proposed color schemes and that the town hall color choice would inform coordinated colors for the nearby fire station. The board discussed a freestanding Town Hall sign, landscaping around the sign and incorporating the flagpole into the site plan. The architect, Michael Terry of Renaissance Group Architects, told the board the project schedule is streamlined: \"We can streamline this as much as we can,\" he said, and called the timetable \"aggressive.\" He and staff said they expect construction to proceed quickly and that they were preparing documents for rapid review.

Mrs. Owens and others said construction will cause some inconveniences and that staff (identified in the meeting as Brooke and her team) will operate out of an alternate space while work is done. Board members emphasized coordinating landscaping and signage decisions with the final building rendering that staff will distribute once available.

The board approved the motion (base bid plus alternates as recommended). No recorded votes against the motion were noted in the meeting record. Staff and the architect did not present a firm, binding move‑in date on the record but said they were targeting occupancy in the same calendar year; the architect described that schedule as achievable but aggressive.

The contract approved at this meeting covers construction management only; any final construction contract, change orders, or funding authorizations beyond the management agreement will be brought to the board for separate action.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","BMA April 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Resolution 2025‑15 authorizes the mayor to enter into a construction management contract with Grinder for phase 2 of the Town Hall addition; the board approved the base bid plus alternatives and discussed color schemes, signage and a target move‑in timeline the architect called \"aggressive.\"","taxTitle","Arlington, Shelby County, Tennessee","taxId",71161,"location","Tennessee","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6254537,"Arlington board approves contracts to advance Autumn Springs Road design, including single‑lane roundabout",408,1000000,1408000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3172166-d816c86e71a937ee6deb7c955ce0f95d&start=1000&end=1408","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3172166-d816c86e71a937ee6deb7c955ce0f95d/thumbnail_1000000.jpg","/articles/6254537/Tennessee/Arlington-board-approves-contracts-to-advance-Autumn-Springs-Road-design-including-singlelane-roundabout","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6254537-a37e36bd33e3fb8e968858c154a9c1dd/orig.mp4?Expires=1770742169&Signature=RJMfADR7T2Y0N9f5QYmrJN01BGTR03098rSYi6LwuTJoLfm2XZx7OvUw4bUIbrnOk1j7435KoYziR2BoMgEraqrMuFtuB48Y61cLvZFF7pDzpQNuXNY8CAvSUoL~uml5GasaHcvdKhIlABCYUCE45uFKQSpliCOzNIDtWm4tBL2VOfYMpwndDYUvtXGP0~apPnQgtO0-oPCdpM6avaKPIhgQM5zqOPN1dLSzYeHoEHaeh~gOkyWePpFcGhbZAgiJKm~INF5OcLBYwTDGb0zcclYvrMXk7kiLcLlhSyKB3kTm3IivQpghALqNpQQyvcjWLYbyIe7S6ksqsgE6cXgb7Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At a meeting of the Town of Arlington board, members approved Resolution 2025‑14 to enter into contracts needed to complete design work for Autumn Springs Road, including plans for a single‑lane roundabout at a sharp curve near the Hawthorne area.

The move advances preliminary engineering for the Autumn Springs Road project, which staff described as including a roundabout designed so an 18‑wheeler can make a full turn if necessary. Board member Mr. Biggs asked for clarification on the roundabout dimensions after seeing a figure he read as \"10 feet.\" A staff member replied that the figure in the presentation was preliminary and that the circulating radius would be sized to accommodate truck turns.

The project consultant or engineering staff explained the roundabout would be a single‑lane facility and that a two‑lane roundabout would require a substantially larger footprint that is not needed for expected traffic and speeds. \"It will just be a 1 lane roundabout and you will enter whichever direction you're going,\" the staff member said, also noting the design team would verify truck turning requirements during later design stages. Board members discussed spacing relative to a planned roundabout in the Hawthorne subdivision and said the planned layout aimed to avoid having two roundabouts so close they could back up into each other.

Staff characterized the current drawings as preliminary. They said the final design will follow engineering criteria, including ensuring agricultural or commercial trucks can complete turns where necessary and evaluating whether stop controls or other signage is needed at nearby intersections. The board voted to approve the resolution; no opposition was recorded during the meeting.

Discussion at the meeting referenced prior board direction from an earlier meeting; staff said the contracts implement the approach the board previously identified. Staff also said they will provide maps and updated drawings to interested board members after the meeting.

The resolution authorizes staff to enter into the listed design contracts so that detailed engineering, permitting and construction documentation can proceed. No construction contract was approved at the meeting; the action covered design‑phase agreements only.

The board did not set final landscaping, artwork, or maintenance responsibilities for the roundabout; members said those decisions would be negotiated later with developers or addressed in future agenda items.","The Town of Arlington on March 4 approved Resolution 2025‑14 to authorize contracts for design work on Autumn Springs Road, including a single‑lane roundabout sized to accommodate large trucks; staff said the design remains preliminary and may change after final engineering.","actionData","errors"]
