City recommends $285,950 engineering contract to design Cobb International Boulevard reclamation project
Summary
Public works staff recommended approving a Patterson & Dewar proposal of $285,950 for engineering services on the Cobb International Boulevard Pavement Reclamation Project; staff said the corridor is roughly a $10 million project and a $2 million federal earmark would cover only part of the work, so SPLOST funds would be needed to finish the corridor.
Public works staff (Speaker 13) presented a proposal from Patterson & Dewar for civil engineering services to support the Cobb International Boulevard Pavement Reclamation Project. The consultant's proposal is $285,950; staff said the corridor's full construction estimate is about $10,000,000 and that the city received a $2,000,000 congressional earmark that could fund roughly one-fifth of the corridor work. Staff recommended approval of the engineering contract so plans would be ready if SPLOST or additional funding becomes available.
Council members asked how the earmark and SPLOST item interact. Staff said the earmark covers a portion of the corridor and that including the corridor on the SPLOST list would enable completion of the full project when combined with local SPLOST proceeds.
What happens next: staff recommended approving the engineering agreement so design work can proceed and the city can leverage the earmark; the item was moved to consent during the meeting process for formal action.
