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 Roswell is currently planning improvements to the widening of Warsaw Road, from Sway Branch Drive to Worthington Hills Drive. The project will include road widening, intersection upgrades, landscaped medians, and sidewalk improvements. As part of this roadway project, approximately 2,000 linear feet of 10-inch water main, along with necessary appurtenances, will need to be relocated within the existing right-of-way. Water service will remain uninterrupted during the construction period. The City of Roswell bid on the roadway improvements in December 2024 and has requested the execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Fulton County and the City of Roswell to allow the City to complete the water main relocation work as part of their project. Fulton County would then reimburse the City of Roswell after awarding the bid and completing the construction work. Fulton County staff will be on-site during the relocation of the water main to ensure that its construction is done to Fulton County standards. The estimated cost of the relocation and installation of the impacted water mains is $953,550.00 and has been budgeted for as part of the water and sewer fund and included in the 2016-2026 Capital Improvement Program.
Community Impact: Currently, Fulton County has 10-inch water mains serving properties along Warsaw 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 Roswell. There will be isolated water outages during the construction of the project as services are disconnected from the existing water main and tied into the new 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 Roswell’s contractor to perform 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 mains due to modifications of existing grades with road widening along Warsaw Road that require water mains to be relocated and valves to be adjusted to match the proposed roadway surface. The existing water main relocations must occur to maintain water service in this area.
Community Issues/Concerns: During construction of the relocations, water service is to be maintained and temporary interruptions may occur during tie-ins with existing water mains.
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 Roswell and Fulton County has worked well on past projects.
