Background

On May 23, 2017, Council approved entering into a contract with Hecht Burdeshaw

to provide plans and drawings for enhancements to the Mott?s Green Plaza (Frank

Martin Pedestrian Bridge/Plaza area). This project is designed to improve the

overall appearance of this area, while protecting its historic significance.

Because this is a federally funded project, the Georgia Department of

Transportation is requiring additional environmental and archeological surveys

of the project area be performed. These surveys were not included in the

original contract

fulfilled in order for this project to move forward. A separate study for each

will be required

Financial Considerations

$30,716.50 and $52,888.71 respectfully. Funding for the studies will be paid

under __________________________________.
