Council approves $51,400 agreement for West Avenue study, staff to hold public meeting
Summary
Conyers approved a $51,400 engineering agreement with Keck & Wood for West Avenue beautification, which includes traffic and crash analysis, feasibility work and a public meeting with local businesses; further design work would be optional and billed by percent complete.
The Conyers Mayor and Council voted Jan. 21 to approve a $51,400 professional-services agreement with Keck & Wood Incorporated to advance West Avenue beautification work.
"This is separate from the LCI... it is a traffic analysis to study the corridor, do a crash analysis to determine overall the feasibility of the improvements... a public meeting to ensure that the local businesses are made aware of what we're doing and together that input," Speaker 10 said while describing the contract. Speaker 10 said the work is twofold: an initial study and optional subsequent landscaping and roadway design phases that would be billed on percent complete rather than as a single lump sum.
Staff said the project concept was discussed in November at the Public Works and Transportation Committee and had been delayed by funding constraints. The contract is intended to produce a feasibility assessment and community outreach that would inform any later design and construction steps.
Council approved the agreement by voice vote. The contract assigns Public Works/Engineering to manage the work; staff said they will schedule a public meeting with local businesses and deliver progress invoices as the work proceeds.
No funding source or construction schedule was specified during the meeting; the council did not authorize construction work at this session, only the study and preliminary engineering.
