Public Works…Working for You!

Sprayfield Herbicide Treatment/Management

As a part of The Landings Association/Utilities, Inc. of Georgia (UIG) Herbicide and Aquatic Management of the North and South Sprayfield Contract that was executed in March, in-house staff completed the herbicide application along the primary and secondary ditches located in the north sprayfield this week. As a reminder, UIG is paying the Association for these services ($1,386.96/treatment). Staff will complete the second treatment to both sprayfields towards the end of the year. The south sprayfield was completed last month and the pictures shown below reflect the work in-house staff accomplished along the ditches.

Mario’s PineStraw is scheduled to be completed with the application of pine straw on the 313 primary and secondary center islands located throughout the community by the end of the week. Thereafter, staff will evaluate the work to ensure that all center islands have been addressed.

Perimeter Fence Repairs

Over the last two weeks, in-house staff have repaired and/or replaced more than 1,000 linear feet of perimeter fencing located along the community path connecting Moon River to Log Landing Road and along the Diamond Causeway.

Main Gate Exit Lane Plantings

BrightView successfully installed additional irrigation at the Main Gate for the enhancements along the right side of the exit lane. The bed lines were re-established and crews began the installations of plantings/shrubberies in this area. Once BrightView has completed the enhancements at the Main Gate, their crews will progress to Landings Harbor. As a reminder, the costs associated with these enhancements are included within the annual landscape contract.

2019 Community Path Project

Absolute Concrete began to address the conversion of asphalt community paths to concrete in Deer Creek beginning with the demolition of the path located from Westshell Court to Sweet Fern Retreat (734 linear feet). The contractor also will address some concrete panel repairs in the Marshwood phase of the community this week.

HVAC Unit Installation – TLA IT Server Room

On Tuesday, our service provider, Climatech, replaced the HVAC unit in TLA’s Server Room. The unit in the IT Room provides additional temperature control to maintain the server equipment for the organization. Although this unit was not scheduled for replacement this year, the unit has been experiencing various issues over the last several months wherein Climatech (our current service provider) has attempted to repair the unit on multiple occasions. During Climatech’s last maintenance call, the contractor noticed the formation of holes in the evaporator coil which resulted in subsequent coolant leaks. Due to the extent of the holes in the coil, Climatech was unable to repair the unit and recommended a full replacement. The unit is captured within CAMP and was installed under budget at $3,179 (Budgeted Amount: $4,200).
