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 on constructing bridge replacements at Pitts Road, Roberts Drive and Kimball Bridge Road over SR 400. Fulton County does not own any water or sewer infrastructure that is attached to the Pitts Road and Roberts Drive bridges. However, the GDOT Design Build (DB) contractor will be responsible for relocating the existing water main on the Kimball Bridge Road bridge as a part of their contract with GDOT. Water service will remain uninterrupted during the construction period. GDOT will bid out the construction of bridge replacements and has requested the execution of a (MOU) between Fulton County and GDOT. Relocation cost of the existing water main shall be covered by the GDOT Design Build (DB) contractor. Fulton County staff will be on-site during the relocation of the water line to ensure that its construction is done to Fulton County standards.
Community Impact: Currently, Fulton County has a water main along Kimball Bridge Road. The Kimball Bridge Road bridge replacement will affect the existing water main that serves the developments in this area as well as the distribution system into the City of Alpharetta, the City of Johns Creek and 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 line relocation is by allowing the GDOT to bid out the work as part of their bridge project. Therefore, Public Works recommends that Fulton County enter into the MOU.
Project Implications: The bridge replacements impact the existing water mains due to modifications of existing grades and road widening that requires water mains to be relocated. Additionally, water valves will 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 MOU. This type of arrangement between the GDOT and Fulton County has worked well on past projects.
