Approval
Approved
Background
The City submitted a list of 110 streets (see attached), that came from the
Pavement Management List, to the Georgia Department of Transportation for
consideration of the Local Assistance Road Program. Ninety-six (96) streets,
23.544 miles were chosen by the DOT. The remaining streets that were not
chosen will be submitted to the awarded contractor to be done as a supplement
and be done during the L.A.R.P.Contract.
Analysis
In order to receive the DOT funding for this project, the City is responsible
for paying and 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. Items 3&4 will be done by the
City.
Financial Considerations
The City will have to pay the DOT their portion of the official bid for
patching of the LAU Projects and patching/resurfacing on the PR projects. The
estimated amount is $1,000,000.00. Funding will be through Paving Fund
Supported Capital Improvement Projects and CBA Lease Revenue Bonds, Series
2003A.
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement
Legal Considerations
The City Attorney disagrees with the indemnification paragraph, but understands
that the DOT will not change the paragraph; therefore, to participate in this
program, the city has to accept it as does every government entity state-wide.
Recommendations/ Actions

Ownership and Agreements and subsequent agreements necessary to implement these
