Chattahoochee County approves GDOT right‑of‑way maintenance agreement for planned roundabout
Summary
The commission unanimously approved a Right‑of‑Way Mowing & Maintenance Agreement with GDOT for P.I. No. 0015687 — a roundabout at SR‑1/SR‑520 and CR‑109 (Wells Street). The agreement spells out mowing, pruning, weeding and sidewalk upkeep and grants the county maintenance authorization for the project limits.
The Chattahoochee County Board of Commissioners on March 4, 2025, approved a Georgia Department of Transportation Right‑of‑Way Mowing & Maintenance Agreement for P.I. No. 0015687, a project that will install a single‑lane roundabout at the intersection of State Route 1/State Route 520 and County Road 109 (Wells Street). Commissioner Damon Hoyte moved to approve the agreement and Commissioner Gerald Douglas seconded; the vote was unanimous.
The agreement and accompanying Exhibit A (DETAILED MAINTENANCE WORK PLAN) describe the maintenance duties the county agreed to perform in GDOT right‑of‑way within the project limits (SR 1 MP 4.76 to MP 5.56). Tasks include regular mowing and trimming, pruning for sight‑lines, weeding and pesticide/herbicide application under licensed supervision, litter removal, and repair/maintenance of installed sidewalks and multi‑use trails in accordance with ADA standards. The agreement notes compliance with the Federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) for temporary traffic control and states the county will bear costs and liability for maintenance work.
The GDOT correspondence in the meeting record (letters signed by Russell R. McMurry, P.E., and Kimberly W. Nesbitt) instructs the county to execute the agreement in the Contract Authorization Tracking System (CATS) so GDOT can finalize signatures and return a fully executed copy for the county’s project file. The project mailing and contact information lists Tahirah Slaughter as GDOT’s project manager for questions about the agreement or maintenance requirements.
What happens next: with the county’s approval recorded, the county manager and staff are responsible for implementing the specified maintenance plan, coordinating any lane or pedestrian interruptions with GDOT, and ensuring licensed pesticide/herbicide application practices when used. The record includes GDOT plan details and a landscape/planting specification for the central island and truck aprons for the roundabout.
