Conyers approves $33,300 one-time payment to CSX for South Main Street sidewalk easement
Summary
Council approved a supplemental agreement with CSX requiring a one-time lease payment of $33,300 for a nonexclusive public sidewalk easement, allowing the South Main Street sidewalk project to proceed under the previously approved contract.
The Conyers City Council approved a supplemental agreement with CSX Transportation on June 4 that requires a one-time lease payment of $33,300 for a nonexclusive public sidewalk easement necessary for the South Main Street sidewalk project.
Brian, who presented the item, said CSX produced a supplemental fee schedule after the council approved the related construction contract roughly two months earlier; he described the payment as a "one and done" cost required to move the project forward. Councilmember Eric moved to approve the supplemental agreement; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote.
City staff said the payment is in addition to previous CSX-related costs listed in the contract background; staff described the project as contingent on CSX’s easement terms. The mayor and council approved the motion and authorized staff to execute the agreement so construction may proceed.
What’s next: staff will execute the supplemental agreement, and the city will resume project work under the existing contract.
