Body
Item Summary:
GDOT has sent the City a Project Framework Agreement for the Chattahoochee River Bridge Pedestrian Enhancement project. The current project scope consists of one 12-foot wide multi-use trail bridge parallel to the existing bridge that is being funded by a 2003 $3 million Federal earmark. The earmark will cover 80% of the design and construction for the project.
Roswell is the sponsor of this project and is currently working to secure an agreement with Sandy Springs to pursue this project.
Committee or Staff Recommendation:
On March 17, 2010 the Community Development and Transportation Committee recommended placing this item on the April 5, 2010 Mayor and Council Agenda.
Financial Impact:
Per the PFA, Roswell's match is estimated at $100,000 for design and $625,145 for construction. These numbers may vary depending on the outcome of the cost sharing partnership with Sandy Springs as well as the bridge design details. The estimated match amount of $725,145 for the project has been requested and will be considered as part of the FY 2011 Budget process. Upon approval of the agreement, Sandy Springs will provide $362,572.50 or 50% of the required match.
