Approval
Approved
Background
Normally, this request is done in March of the L.A.R.P. year. The Georgia
Department of Transportation (DOT) has changed its policy and wants this
document submitted with the Candidate List, which is due in on September,
2006. Therefore, a list of 115 streets that came from the Pavement Management
list has been submitted to the DOT for consideration for the 2007/08 L.A.R.P.
Program (see attached). If all of the streets are not chosen, the ones not
chosen will be added as a supplement and done during the L.A.R.P. Contract, if
money is available.
Analysis
In order to receive the DOT funding for this project, the City is responsible
for doing the following:
1) Doing advance patch work
2) Raising manhole covers and other street fixtures
3) Clearing ditches and drainage structures
4) Leveling of shoulders
Items 1 & 2 will be included in the Bid Package for the awarded Contractor.
Items 3 & 4 will be done by City forces.
Financial Considerations
Funding will be through Paving Fund Supported Capital Improvement Projects and
CBA Lease Revenue Bonds Series 2003A for approximately $1.5m.
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement
Legal Considerations
The City Attorney disagrees with the indemnification paragraph, but understands
that the DOT will not change policy; therefore, to participate in this program,
the City has to accept it as does every government entity state wide.
Recommendations/ Actions
Approve the resolution authorizing the execution of the Certificate of
Ownership and Agreement and subsequent agreements necessary to implement this
