Roswell to accept roughly $1.22 million in GDOT local road funds to supplement resurfacing work
Summary
Staff recommended and the committee approved submitting the FY2026 Local Road Assistance project list and accepting Georgia Department of Transportation LRA funds (presented as roughly $1.22 million) to add resurfacing work and provide contingency for utility relocations; no local match is required.
Mr. Fleger presented a Local Road Assistance (LRA) allocation from the Georgia Department of Transportation that staff described as "straight money" with no local match and eligibility for resurfacing, drainage, sidewalks, utility relocation and design (with some exclusions such as right-of-way acquisition and certain streetscape items). Staff recommended using the allocation to add resurfacing to the city's current contract and to reserve contingency for potential utility relocations along Green Street.
Council members asked whether the city could add the work to the recently bid resurfacing contract or would need to rebid; staff said depending on timing the city could amend the current contract if the contractor's performance allows or hold the funds for next year's resurfacing. Council discussed past uses of this program and confirmed the funds had previously been used to add resurfacing and to delay bidding to align with expected allocations.
The committee voted unanimously to submit the FY2026 LRA project list to GDOT and accept the funds as presented. Staff presented the allocation at the meeting as roughly $1.22 million; the exact figure read at the meeting was unclear in the transcript and should be confirmed via the official award documentation.
