Summary & Background:
Scope of Work: The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) is planning to resurface State Route 141 (Medlock Bridge Road) from the Gwinnett County Line to the Forsyth County Line in Fulton County. As part of this project, two sanitary sewer manholes and eighteen water valve boxes, along with associated appurtenances located within the existing Fulton County-owned sewer line right-of-way, will need to be adjusted to meet the proposed grade. GDOT plans to bid the project by the end of 2026 and has requested the execution of a Contract Item Agreement (CIA) with Fulton County. This agreement will allow GDOT to include the sewer manhole and water valve box adjustments in their bid package. Fulton County will reimburse GDOT for the actual cost of the utility adjustment work upon completion and acceptance of the bid. Sewer and water service is expected to remain largely uninterrupted during the construction period. Fulton County staff will be on-site during the sewer manhole and water valve box adjustments to ensure the work is completed in accordance with County standards. The estimated cost for the adjustment of the impacted sewer and water infrastructure is $33,000.00, which has been budgeted through the Water & Sewer Fund and included in the 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program.
Community Impact: The existing 12‑inch water line serves various facilities along the resurfacing corridor of State Route 141 (Medlock Bridge Road) within Fulton County. The planned roadway resurfacing will impact several sewer manholes and water valve boxes that provide critical service to developments in the area. Adjustment of these manholes and water valve boxes is necessary to ensure uninterrupted service and to accommodate GDOT’s construction activities.
Department Recommendation: The Department of Public Works believes the most cost‑effective approach to completing the sewer manhole and water valve box adjustments is to allow the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) to include the work in their roadway project bid. Therefore, the Department recommends that Fulton County enter into a Contract Item Agreement (CIA) with GDOT.
Project Implications: The roadway resurfacing along State Route 141 (Medlock Bridge Road) will impact existing sewer manholes and water valve boxes due to necessary storm structure modifications and changes in roadway grades. As a result, the sewer manholes and water valve boxes must be adjusted to match the proposed roadway elevations. These adjustments are essential to maintaining continuous water and sewer service in the area.
Community Issues/Concerns: Water and Sewer service will be maintained throughout the construction period. However, temporary service interruptions may occur during the work. Impacted customers will be notified in advance.
Department Issues/Concerns: The Department of Public Works is not aware of any issues or concerns with the proposed CIA. Similar agreements between GDOT and Fulton County have proven effective on past projects.
