Background
On December 7, 2010, Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a MOU
with GDOT for this TE project. Funding for this project was set at $500,000,
with a 20 percent match from the city. Work has progressed on this project and
is scheduled to start construction by this summer. Originally the timeline
called for construction to begin in 2014. Because this construction date was
not met, GDOT is requesting a new MOU, with a completion date of June 30,
2019.
Analysis
Progress continues to proceed on this project. Authorizing the City Manager to
sign the new MOU will provide a new target date for completion, while insuring
the funding for this project will continue.
Financial Considerations
Funding for this project will still remain at $200,000, with a 20 percent match
from the City.
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement
Upon completion of this project, the City will be responsible for all general
maintenance.
Legal Considerations
The City will be subject to all federal and state laws mandated under this
agreement.
