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 Milton is currently planning on intersection improvement at the intersection of Cox Road and King Road. The project will include construction of a roundabout with road widening with landscape medians and sidewalk improvements. As part of this roadway project, approximately 433 linear feet of 6-inch & 12-inch water mains with appurtenances will need to be relocated within the current right-of-way. Water service will remain uninterrupted during the construction period. The City of Milton plans to bid the roadway improvements in September 2026 and is now requesting the execution of an IGA between Fulton County and the City of Milton to allow the City of Milton to include the water main relocation work as part of their project. Fulton County would then reimburse the City of Milton after the construction work has been completed by their contractor. Fulton County staff will be on-site during the relocation of the water mains to ensure that construction is done to Fulton County standards. The estimated cost of the relocation and installation of the impacted water mains is $231,606.00 and has been budgeted for as part of the water and sewer fund and included in the 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program.
Community Impact: 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 Milton. 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 Milton to bid out the work as part of their roadway project. Therefore, Public Works recommends that Fulton County enter into the IGA.
Project Implications: The road improvements will impact the existing water mains due to modifications of the existing grades associated with the roundabout construction and road widening along Cox Road at King Road. These changes require the relocation of the water main and the adjustment of valves to match the proposed roadway surface. Relocating the existing water mains is necessary to ensure continued 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 the existing water main.
Department Issues/Concerns: The Public Works Department is not aware of any issues or concerns with this proposed IGA. This type of arrangement between the City of Milton and Fulton County has worked well on past projects.
