Transportation committee approves airport contracts, grants and I‑75/85 Stitch study amendment
Summary
The committee approved a range of consent and regular items including airport contract amendments (Saab and Zovis), a $453,980 state Surface Transportation Block Grant, a $5 million congressional directed spending application for the I‑75/85 Stitch capping project, and several construction and consultant supplements; most items passed unanimously and several were held or filed as noted.
The Atlanta City Council Transportation Committee on its consent and regular calendar approved multiple airport and corridor actions, supplementing existing contracts and authorizing grant acceptances and project agreements.
Clerks read a series of items that included: a $142,780 amendment for the Saab Airport Surface Management Systems contract (bringing the overall contract not to exceed $4,858,930) to add an API for real-time data integration; an extension and ratification of the Cleveland Avenue pedestrian mobility improvements; acceptance of a Surface Transportation Block Grant for five corridor improvement locations in an amount not to exceed $453,980; and authorization of an amendment to a traffic communications agreement with Lumen Transportation Technologies (extension without additional funding). The committee also recorded a recommendation to seek congressional directed spending up to $5,000,000 for the Stitch capping I‑75/85 downtown project and approved a project management agreement amendment for the Stitch study.
Additional airport items approved included a $2,050,687 supplement for business and technical consultant services with Atlanta Airlines Terminal Company, a one-year renewal MOU with American Airlines for gate use at Hartsfield‑Jackson Atlanta International Airport, and a joint component GMP supplement not to exceed $11,942,600 for on-call construction management services. The committee approved a Zovis passenger wait-time reporting system amendment to move the platform to a cloud environment with additional funding of $190,278.35 (total not to exceed $1,015,389.36).
Most consent items recorded unanimous favorable votes (commonly 5 yays, 0 nays where noted). The committee held Item 21 (Comprehensive Transportation Plan agreement with WSP USA Inc.) pending procurement reports and filed or held several other items as reflected in the clerk’s reading.
What to watch next: The Stitch-related project management amendment (committee Item 31) was approved and will move forward to required city approvals; grants and contract supplements will proceed per procurement rules and the mayor’s or designee’s execution authority described in the committee captions.
