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: . Planned onsite improvement to the Aircraft Recue and Fire Fighting Facility (“ARFF”) Phase II - Airport Administration Offices at 3960 Aero Drive, Atlanta, Georgia within the Fulton County Executive Airport requires the expansion of the onsite Underground Utility Easement Area with the Georgia Power Company. Airport Consultants, Michael Baker International, have submitted construction plans that will increase the electrical load to the ARFF facility which has necessitated an upgrade and relocation of the onsite electrical transformer.
In accordance with Georgia Power’s electrical service regulations all modification to existing service connections must acknowledge Georgia Power’s easement interests in the area(s) on which their electrical service equipment is located.
The approval of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners is required to convey a real property interest in a County owned real property.
