Background
Under the Transportation Improvement Act (TIA), the city is developing the new
South Lumpkin Road Multi-Use Trail. The trail will run from Cusseta Road to
the Fort Benning border. As part of the development of this trail, a
pedestrian bridge will need to be constructed over Victory Drive to provide
safe passage. Funding for the trail itself will come from TIA funds. The new
pedestrian bridge will be constructed under additional funding from a High
Priority Projects (HPP) grant. Heath Linebeck is the engineering consultants
on this main portion of this project and requires a supplemental agreement to
perform the design work needed for this bridge.
Analysis
Construction of the pedestrian bridge is a necessary component to insure the
safety those using the trail crossing Victory Drive.
Financial Considerations
The proposed cost for the design work is $128,784, which will be used as the
twenty percent match for this HPP grant. Funding is available under the city
Enterprise Zone program.
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement
There will be no annual fiscal impact as this cost is for design work only.
Legal Considerations
The City Attorney has reviewed the supplemental agreement and has approved it
as to form.
