Dublin council authorizes engineering agreement to pursue One Georgia grant for Ferry Branch sewer
Summary
Council approved a contract authorization with Carter and Sloop Engineering to prepare a One Georgia Authority grant application and preliminary work (including camera inspection) for replacement of a section of the terracotta Ferry Branch sewer line; staff said application work is estimated at $22,000.
The Dublin City Council authorized staff to enter an agreement with Carter and Sloop Engineering to prepare and submit a One Georgia Authority grant application for replacement of a significant segment of the Ferry Branch sewer line.
Council members heard that the line is older terracotta pipe running from Stubs Park toward the river and has suffered issues in the past. Staff said the engineering scope for the grant application includes cleaning the line and deploying a camera to assess its current condition, and that Carter and Sloop had been successful on prior sewer-related grant work for the city. The application and preliminary work were described in the staff packet as costing approximately $22,000.
Mr. How (presenting the resolution) and Mr. Powell noted that the project was included on a prior SPLOST list as a high-cost item; obtaining grant funding would reduce the need to expend the city’s sales-tax (SPLOST) dollars on the full replacement. Councilman Jones moved and Councilman Brown seconded the motion to authorize the agreement and to allow the mayor and city manager to execute the necessary documents; the council approved the resolution as presented.
Staff said any section not covered by grant funding could be repaired using the city’s previously earmarked SPLOST funds.
