Council hears utility relocation and right‑of‑way task orders; Brown Industrial pump addendum set for later action
Summary
City staff on April 3 briefed council on right‑of‑way acquisition work for Prominence Point Parkway, a Crown Castle utility‑relocation request for the West Main pedestrian corridor and a $43,175 addendum request for Brown Industrial booster‑pump work.
City staff briefed the council April 3 on several infrastructure and utility items and asked for follow‑up presentations on a separate wastewater project.
Staff said Keck & Wood will provide right‑of‑way acquisition services for the Prominence Point Parkway intersection improvement under Task Order 8; staff recorded the scope but did not request an immediate vote. For the West Main Street pedestrian corridor project, Crown Castle requested the city pay $50,000 to relocate and bury approximately 500 feet of conduit; staff said Georgia Power will share about $15,000 of the cost because it will also use the conduit.
In water system work, staff described an addendum 2 to a water task order for Brown Industrial booster pump and pipeline work with Black & Veatch in the amount not to exceed $43,175 to cover additional investigation and line location adjustments where aging infrastructure was found in the field. Staff said this work is additional to the original contract and planned to return to council for formal approval on April 17.
Councilmembers asked questions about opportunities to partner with Georgia Power and other utilities to coordinate downtown burying projects; staff said the city continues to explore joint‑trench opportunities but that costs can be higher in some areas. No formal approvals were recorded on April 3 for these items; staff will return with contract documents or request formal action as indicated.
