Atlanta Transportation Committee approves airport and street funding resolutions, attaches iProbe report to restroom contract
Summary
The committee approved a slate of resolutions including multimodal grant applications, utility relocation, a $191 million airport CMAR supplement and a $26.5 million restroom contract for Hartsfield-Jackson; the restroom agreement was amended to attach the iProbe report, which the chair said yielded no observations.
The Atlanta Transportation Committee voted to approve a series of resolutions and contract actions for street, bridge and airport projects, including a large supplement to a guaranteed maximum price fund for airport construction and a multimillion-dollar terminal contract.
Mr. Johnson read multiple consent items and ordinances for first reading; many consent items were scheduled to return for committee action in the next cycle. Committee members then considered substituted and standalone resolutions.
Solomon Cavendish of the Atlanta Department of Transportation explained the Atlanta Regional Commission solicitation and said grant awards can range widely. The committee approved a substituted resolution (26 R3000) authorizing an ARC federal funding application and a partnership with the Westside Howell Mill Community Improvement District for Collier Road multimodal preliminary engineering.
The committee also approved a substituted resolution (26 R3001) requesting traffic-calming devices on Margaret Place NW between North Eugenia Place NW and Hollywood Road NW to reduce speeding.
A resolution authorizing a stipulated-sum agreement with Georgia Power for utility relocation related to the Cheshire Bridge Road replacement project was approved, authorizing up to $116,350 for relocation and adjustment work. The committee approved a resolution supplementing a guaranteed maximum price fund not to exceed $191,416,390 for on-call construction management at-risk contracts at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
A $26,516,653 agreement for Central Passenger Terminal restroom enhancements (26 R3093) with New South Synergy 2 was amended on the floor to attach the iProbe report; the chair noted the IPRA report “yielded no observations.” The amended item passed (vote announced as 7 yays, 0 nays). The committee also approved an intergovernmental lighting agreement with the Georgia Department of Transportation (26 R3094) and a $28,011,595 supplement to a joint task order fund for architectural and engineering design services at Hartsfield-Jackson (26 R3095). Several votes were announced as favorable by the clerk.
No member raised sustained objections during the roll calls recorded in the transcript; items were described in the meeting packet and, where applicable, were amended before approval. Committee members thanked staff for recent paving work after formal business concluded. The committee adjourned after routine closing remarks.
