Council awards Highway 20 waterline contract, approves easement with CVS
Summary
Cumming council awarded a $1,333,157 contract to CW Matthews for upsizing a choke point on Highway 20 and approved a permanent easement with CVS Pharmacy for the SR 20/SR 306 connector; staff said work is part of the larger Highway 20 project and may continue into 2028.
The Cumming City Council voted 5-0 to award a waterline replacement contract tied to the Highway 20 project and approved a permanent easement agreement with CVS Pharmacy for the SR 20/SR 306 connector.
John (S9), the presenting city staff member, described the work as an upsizing of a choke point on Bramlett Road/Highway 20 and recommended a ductile-iron 16-inch main and an 8-inch line to improve pressure and flow. He told council the bid process produced about 10 bids ranging roughly from $1.33 million to $2.26 million and recommended awarding the work to CW Matthews.
During debate, John said the easement language requires the city to restore the CVS parking area to its current condition or better after work; he noted CVS officials were concerned that cutting pavement could lead to cracking. John said the city follows DOT standards for pavement cuts and would restripe and repave as required. He also told council the broader Highway 20 project could run into 2028.
Council approved the award to CW Matthews for $1,333,157 and approved signing the permanent easement with CVS, each motion carried 5-0.
Note on record consistency: staff commentary in the meeting transcript includes a garbled dollar figure in one line; the council motion and recorded approval identify the contract amount as $1,333,157.
