Agenda Item # 8
Columbus Consolidated Government
Council Meeting
05/27/2014
Agenda Report # 128
TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: TIA Supplement Agreement - US27/Custer Road Interchange
Reconstruction/Modification
INITIATED BY: Planning Department
Recommendation: Approval is requested of a resolution to enter into a
supplemental agreement with the Georgia Department of Transportation to adjust
the budget for this project to provide necessary funding for engineering
consulting services.
Background: The US27/Custer Road Interchange
Reconstruction/Modification is a Transportation Investment Act (TIA) project
that was approved by voters in July 2012. The project will provide direct
access to property located at the intersection of US 27 (Victory Drive) and
I-185 for the purposes of developing a business park.
Analysis: A supplemental agreement is needed to modify the existing budget for
the above referenced project. Line items in the original contract for ROW and
construction have been reduced by a total of $700,000, with that amount being
applied to the line item for preliminary engineering.
Financial Considerations: The total amount of $20 million in TIA funds for
this project has not changed. This action will allow us to enter into a
contract with the consultants to begin their engineering design of this
project.
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement: There will not be any annual fiscal
impact to the city for this action.
Legal Considerations: The City Attorney has approved this action.
Recommendations/ Actions: Approve the resolution authorizing the City Manager
to enter into a supplemental agreement with the Georgia Department of
Transportation to adjust the budget for this project to provide the necessary
funding for engineering consulting services.
