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 SR 400 Express Lanes improvements from the North Springs MARTA station to McFarland Parkway in Forsyth County. The project will include the SR 400 Express Lanes construction, landscaped medians and other improvements along the corridor and key interchanges. Under the GDOT Public Private Partnership (P3) Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), GDOT’s contractor will be responsible for relocating any existing water main and sanitary sewer conflicts as a part of their contract with GDOT. Fulton County’s Department of Public Works has proposed betterment of approximately 460 linear feet of 42-inch water main with appurtenances to be constructed under SR 400 within the current right-of-way where Kimball Bridge Road crosses SR 400. Water service will remain largely uninterrupted during the construction period. GDOT will be bidding on the roadway improvements in the near future and has requested the execution of a P3 MOU between Fulton County and GDOT. This will allow GDOT to bid the water main (excluding betterment) and sewer relocation and installation work as part of their project. Fulton County would then enter into a separate 42-inch waterline installation betterment agreement with GDOT’s contractors with reasonable market trend. Relocation cost of the existing water and sewer along SR 400 Express Lanes construction improvements shall be covered by the GDOT P3 MOU. 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 betterment installation of the impacted water mains is $2,500,000.00 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 serving water mains and sewer lines along SR 400. The road improvements will affect the existing water and sewer and proposed 42-inch water lines that serve the developments in this area as well as the distribution system into the City of Alpharetta, the City of Roswell and the City of Sandy Springs. 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 GDOT to bid out the work as part of their roadway project. Therefore, Public Works recommends that Fulton County enter into the P3 MOU.
Project Implications: The road improvements impact the existing water mains and sewer line due to modifications of existing grades, road widening and elevated Express Lanes along SR 400 that require water mains and sewer line to be relocated. Additionally, sewer manholes and water valves will be adjusted to match the proposed roadway surface. The existing water main and sewer line 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 P3 MOU. This type of arrangement between GDOT and Fulton County has worked well on past projects
