City Council approves North Side Forsyth Drive resurfacing proposal from Jasper Grading

The City of Cumming, Georgia, held a council meeting on June 26, 2025, where key discussions focused on infrastructure improvements and administrative matters.

The meeting began with a review of old business, which revealed no outstanding items. The council then moved to new business, starting with a proposal for the resurfacing of North Side Forsyth Drive. City officials noted that the road required more than just restriping; it needed milling and resurfacing due to its deteriorating condition.

An RFP (Request for Proposals) was issued for the project, attracting seven bids. The bids ranged from Jasper Grading's low proposal of $98,825 to higher offers from other contractors. After discussion, the council recommended awarding the contract to Jasper Grading, citing their competitive pricing. The project is expected to take four days, during which two lanes of the three-lane road will remain open to ensure traffic flow, particularly for access to a nearby hospital.

The council unanimously approved the motion to proceed with the resurfacing project. Following this, there were no announcements, and the meeting transitioned into an executive session to discuss personnel matters and pending legal issues. The session concluded with a unanimous vote to close.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the council's commitment to maintaining city infrastructure while ensuring minimal disruption to the community.
