Approval

Approved

Background

The City submitted a list of 78 streets (see attached), that came from the

Pavement Management List, to Georgia Department of Transportation for

consideration of the Local Assistance Road Program. Fifty-eight (58) streets,

12.05 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 larger quantity of material. The City will pay the DOT

for the patching of L.A.R.P. Program and for patching/resurfacing for the PR

Projects.

Analysis

In order to receive the DOT funding for this project, 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 of shoulders



Items 172 will be included in the DOT Bid Package. Items 3&4 will be done by

City forces.

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

Approve the resolution authorizing execution of the Certificate of Ownership

and Agreements and subsequent agreements necessary to implement these projects.
