Agenda Item #
Columbus Consolidated Government
Council Meeting
Agenda Report # ___
TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: Gateway/Supplemental Resurfacing Project
INITIATED BY: Felton G. Grant, Highway Coordinator, Transportation Planning
Department
Recommendation: Approval is requested to execute a "Certificate of Ownership
and Agreement" with the Georgia Department of Transportation (DOT) for a
Gateway at Intersection 1 of I-185 (Victory Drive/I-185) for approximately $1,
500,000 and Supplemental Resurfacing Project for approximately $250,000.
Background: The Georgia Department of Transportation is submitting to the city
of Columbus, Georgia the opportunity to accept a Gateway Project at
Intersection 1 of I-185 and Supplemental Resurfacing Project in advance of the
required documents to be endorsed by city officials. We have submitted a list
of 16 streets to the DOT (attached) that came from the Pavement Management
Program.
Analysis: The City is normally responsible for 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
Financial Considerations: The DOT has tentatively pledged approximately
$1,500,000 to the Gateway Project. This will not require a match from the
City. The City may incur a 20% match for the resurfacing project depending
upon the number of streets receiving final approval. The items listed under
Analysis (above) may have to be paid by the
city.
Legal Considerations: The City Attorney agrees with this tentative request.
Recommendations/ Actions: Approve a resolution authorizing execution of a
"Certificate of Ownership and Agreement" with the Georgia Department of
Transportation for a Gateway Project at Intersection 1 of I-185 and
Supplemental Resurfacing Project for 16 streets.
