Council approves resurfacing contract amendments, asks for project‑level LMIG breakdown before budget hearings
Summary
The Transportation Committee approved multi‑million‑dollar amendments to ongoing resurfacing contracts and pressed the department for a detailed, council‑district breakdown of outstanding projects and funding as the city prepares for World Cup events and FY26 budgets.
ATLANTA — The Transportation Committee on Tuesday approved amendments to two resurfacing contracts and pressed city transportation officials for a project‑level breakdown of outstanding work and funding ahead of budget hearings and major events.
What passed: The committee approved a third amendment to a 2021 resurfacing contract with Stewart Brothers to add $6,601,890.03 for resurfacing work (vote 6–0). The panel also approved a substitute amendment to add $8,725,205.46 to a separate 2021 resurfacing contract with Magnum Pavement Co.; the substitute passed with conditions and a commitment to submit a clean substitute caption and funding detail promptly (vote 6–0 on substitute, with council conditions).
Council requests and concerns: Councilmember Juan and others pressed for an itemized, council‑district breakdown of remaining balances, project status and where new LMIG funding and Renew Atlanta bond proceeds are programmed. Juan said the committee was “in the ninth inning” before World Cup and asked the administration to furnish district‑level project rosters urgently. Commissioner Solomon Caviness (ATLDOT) and staff said they are working to scrub data and will provide the breakdown and the results of a recent PCI (pavement condition index) study when available.
Procurement and timeline issues: Several council members questioned continuing month‑to‑month contract extensions and urged the procurement office to accelerate solicitations for new resurfacing contracts so spring 2026 work can proceed without delay. Caviness said the department will coordinate with procurement and that industry consolidation has changed how contracts may be structured.
Clarifying figures: The Stewart Brothers amendment adds $6,601,890.03; the Magnum Pavement substitute adds $8,725,205.46 (the substitute also folded in a Fairburn Road add of approximately $3,000,000 that council asked to be reflected in a cleaned substitute). Council conditioned approval on receiving an amended caption and a clear funding schedule by the following Monday.
What’s next: The department committed to deliver a district‑level breakdown of open projects and funding within weeks and to coordinate with procurement to move solicitations forward ahead of the FY26 budget hearings.
