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 has recently constructed improvements to the intersection at Hopewell Road and Bethany Bend. The project included road widening and the construction of a roundabout including landscaped medians and sidewalk improvements. As part of this roadway project, approximately 2,380 linear feet of 8-inch water main with appurtenances needed to be relocated within the current right-of-way. Water service remained uninterrupted during the construction period. The City of Milton bid out the roadway improvements in mid-2022 and included the water main relocation work as part of the project. The City is now requesting the execution of an IGA with Fulton County to allow it to be reimbursed for the water main relocation work already completed. Fulton County staff was on-site during the relocation of the water main and ensured that its construction was done to Fulton County standards. The cost of the relocation and installation of the impacted water mains was $503,585.00 and has been budgeted for as part of the 2023 Water and Sewer fund budget and included in the 2016-2026 Capital Improvement Program.
Community Impact: Currently, Fulton County has an 8-inch water main serving properties along Hopewell Road. The road improvements affected the existing water lines that serve the developments in this area as well as the distribution system in the City of Milton. There were no water outages during the construction of the project as services were 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 relocation of the water main was to allow the City of Milton to bid out the work as part of its roadway project. This format has been used on several previous projects with the City of Milton and has proven to be beneficial for both parties. Therefore, Public Works recommends that Fulton County enter into the IGA with the City of Milton.
Project Implications: The road improvements impact the existing water mains due to modifications of existing grades with roundabout and road widening along Hopewell 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 the construction of the relocations, water service was maintained.
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.
