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 City of Johns Creek is currently planning to construct intersection improvements on Jones Bridge Road from Sargent Road to Douglas Road. The project will include road widening with landscaped medians and sidewalk enhancements. As part of this roadway project, water valves, sanitary sewer manholes, and fire hydrants with associated appurtenances will need to be adjusted and relocated within the existing right-of-way. Water service will remain uninterrupted during the construction period. The City of Johns Creek awarded the bid for roadway improvements in July 2024. The project is currently underway and the City of Johns Creek is requesting the execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Fulton County and the City of Johns Creek to allow for the inclusion of relocation work as part of their project. Fulton County will reimburse the City of Johns Creek after the construction work is completed by their contractor. Fulton County staff will be on-site during the relocation and adjustment work to ensure that it meets Fulton County standards. The cost of relocating and installing the impacted water mains is $109,000.00, which has been budgeted as part of the water and sewer fund and is included in the 2016-2026 Capital Improvement Program.
Community Impact: Currently, Fulton County has a 16-inch water main serving properties along this section of Jones Bridge Road. The road improvements will affect the existing water lines that serve the developments in this area as well as the distribution system into the City of Johns Creek. There will be isolated water outages during the construction of the project as services are disconnected from the existing water main.
Department Recommendation: The Department of Public Works believes that the most cost-effective way to complete the water main relocations is by allowing the City of Johns Creek to bid out the work as part of their roadway project. Therefore, Public Works recommends that Fulton County enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA).
Project Implications: The road improvements impact the existing water valve and sanitary sewer manhole due to modifications of the existing grades with road widening along Jones Bridge Road. These modifications require the water valve and sanitary sewer manhole to be adjusted to match the proposed roadway surface. Adjusting the existing water valve and sanitary sewer manholes is necessary to maintain water service in the area.
Community Issues/Concerns: During construction of the relocations, water service is to be maintained and temporary interruptions may occur during tie-ins with the existing water main.
Department Issues/Concerns: The Public Works Department is not aware of any issues or concerns with this proposed Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA). This type of arrangement between the City of Johns Creek and Fulton County has worked well on past projects.
