Summary & Background (First sentence includes Agency recommendation. Provide an executive summary of the action that gives an overview of the relevant details for the item.)
Scope of Work: The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) is currently planning to add two (2) new, barrier-separated express lanes in both directions of I-285 between the Chattahoochee River and New Northside Drive within Fulton County. The GDOT’s contractor will be responsible for relocating any existing sanitary sewer lines as a part of its contract with GDOT. GDOT anticipates beginning their procurement process for this roadway improvement project during the 3rd Quarter of 2023 with a construction start date expected for the fourth quarter of 2024. Before the procurement process has begun, GDOT has requested the execution of a MOU between Fulton County and GDOT. This will allow the GDOT P3 team to bid the design and construction of the sewer line relocations as part of its project. Once the P3 team has been chosen by GDOT, any relocation cost of the existing sewer along both directions of I-285 Express Lanes construction improvements will be covered by GDOT. Fulton County staff will be on-site during the relocation of the sewer line to ensure that its construction is done to Fulton County standards.
Community Impact: Currently, Fulton County has sewer lines along both directions of the planned I-285 Express Lanes. The road improvements will likely impact the existing sewer lines. The relocation cost of the existing sewer line will be covered by the GDOT Public Private Partnership (P3) contract.
Department Recommendation: The Department of Public Works believes that the most cost-effective way to complete the sewer line relocations is by allowing GDOT to bid out the work as part of their roadway project. Therefore, Public Works recommends that Fulton County enter into the P3MOU agreement.
Project Implications: The road improvements impact the existing sewer lines due to modifications of existing grades and road widening of Express Lanes along I-285 requiring the sewer lines to be relocated. Additionally, sewer manholes will be adjusted to match the proposed roadway surface. The existing sewer line relocations must occur to maintain sewer service in this area.
Community Issues/Concerns: During construction of the relocations, sewer service is to be maintained, but temporary interruptions may occur during tie-ins with existing sewer lines.
Department Issues/Concerns: The Public Works Department is not aware of any issues or concerns with this proposed P3MOU. This type of arrangement between the GDOT and Fulton County has worked well on past projects.
