Recommendation

Approval

Approved

Background

The City submitted a list of one hundred and one (101) streets, (see

attached), that came from the Pavement Management List, to the Georgia

Department of Transportation, for consideration of the Local Assistance Road

Program. Forty-one streets (41), 11.25 miles were chosen by the DOT. The DOT

has agreed to also include the remaining streets in their bid package, allowing

the City to take advantage of better prices from a large quantity of material.

The City will pay the DOT for the patching for L.A.R.P. and patching and

resurfacing for the PR Projects. Funding has been received from the Georgia

Department of Transportation for the past six (6) years as follows:

1) FY'98 $468,844.00 4) FY'01 $397,023.00

2) FY'99 $608,200.00 5) FY'02 $359,606.00

3) FY'00 $613,248.00 6) FY'03 $689,304.00

Analysis

In order to receive this funding, the City is responsible for the following:

1) Doing advance patch work

2) Raising manhole covers and other street fixtures

3) Clearing ditches and drainage structures

4) Leveling the shoulders



Items 1 & 2 will be included in the DOT Bid package. Items 3 & 4 will be done

by City forces.

Financial Considerations

The City's portion of patching on the LAU projects and patching and resurfacing

on the PR projects is estimated to be $1,800,000.00. The City will have to pay

the DOT this amount before the projects will be awarded. Funding will be

provided through Paving, Fund Supported Capital 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 every government entity state-wide does.

Recommendations/ Actions

Approve the resolution authorizing execution of the Certificate of Ownership

and Agreements and subsequent agreements necessary to implement these projects.
