Summary & Background
The Department of Public Works recommends approval to increase spending authority contract with NOVA Engineering and Environmental, LLC to provide building code administration services, construction management services and planning services.
Scope of Work: The contract allows for a consultant to provide building code administration, construction management, and planning services associated with new development and redevelopment activity within the Fulton Industrial District area of unincorporated Fulton County and sanitary sewer inspection services throughout South Fulton. This contract provides building code administration services on an as-needed basis for the five following functional areas: administration, inspections of commercial buildings, inspections of residential buildings, commercial plan review, and residential plan review. This contract provides construction management services for the following functional areas: Engineering Review for Land Development, Site Development/Infrastructure Inspections, and Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) and Local Issuing Authority (LIA) Compliance and Program Administration.
This contract ensures that all new development is in compliance with Best Management Practices (BMPs), complies with all County, State, and Federal soil and erosion controls standards, and complies with all appropriate rules and regulations governing development and construction as regulated by Fulton County. This contract will also ensure that all roadway and associated infrastructure improvements constructed within the Fulton County right of way and public utility easements meet County, State, and Federal Standards. Finally, this contract will ensure that the state MS4 and Local Issuing Authority obligations of Fulton County are met.
The Planning and Zoning program ensures that growth is orderly and in conformance with the County's Comprehensive Plan, the Fulton County Zoning Resolution, and other State and Federal Ordinances and Codes. Approval will allow the County to provide professional planning services as required by the State of Georgia’s Zoning Procedures Law until such time as the planning and zoning functions are no longer needed within the Fulton Industrial District.
The 2023 renewal contract with NOVA Engineering and Environmental, LLC was approved by the BOC on November 16, 2022 as agenda item #22-0862 for an amount not to exceed $150,000.00. During a mid-year review of the contract and contractor’s performance, additional funds were identified to be needed to cover the increase in permitting activity and sanitary sewer inspections in the South Fulton area. Therefore, Public Works is requesting the increase in spending authority.
Community Impact: This contract ensures that all new development and redevelopment activity within the Fulton Industrial District of unincorporated Fulton County will meet all necessary local, state, and federal requirements. Additionally, it allows for the new sanitary sewer systems to be constructed to local standards.
Department Recommendation: The Department requests approval.
Project Implications: Contracting these services will allow the Department of Public Works to provide broader, more timely and efficient services to our customers.
Community Issues/Concerns: There are no known community issues or concerns with the approval of this contract.
Department Issues/Concerns: The Department of Public Works does not have any concerns with the approval of this contract.
