The South Cobb Tunnel project is currently anticipated to be completed in December 2014.

In 2010, Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. purchased Jordan, Jones and Goulding. As of January 1, 2011, all employees of the Jordan, Jones and Goulding became employees of the Jacobs Engineering Group. Jordan, Jones and Goulding is in the process of closing down its business and transferring all of its contracts to Jacobs Engineering Group; therefore, Jordan, Jones and Goulding requests that the South Cobb Tunnel agreement be transferred to Jacobs Engineering via a three-party Novation Agreement. The Cobb County Water System concurs with this request.

PURPOSE

To approve Change Order No. 2 to the construction contract with Chatfield Contracting, Inc. for a project in the vicinity of 2710 Wynford Avenue, Program No. SW1355.

BACKGROUND

On October 23, 2012, the Board of Commissioners approved a construction contract with Chatfield Contracting for replacement of approximately 140 linear feet of stormwater pipe and related junction boxes near 2710 Wynford Avenue. The project is within the Mud Creek drainage basin where poorly drained soils dominate low-lying areas. Rainfall during late 2012 and much of 2013 raised the groundwater table in the area, making conventional construction inappropriate. In September of 2013, with groundwater remaining a problem, it was determined that the pipeline should be undercut and a substantial stone base installed to provided sufficient drainage for the pipeline to be replaced. The Board of Commissioners approved a change order to accommodate the revised approach.

Once work could proceed and the entire work area could be exposed, several additional minor issues were identified that require extra work to properly complete the project. There proved to be an unknown angle in the line segment on the upstream side of Wynford Avenue which resulted in a buried upstream junction box being found much closer to the existing residence than anticipated, dictating a need for additional landscape and irrigation system work to restore the site. In addition, a section of driveway that had to be removed and replaced was found to be significantly thicker than standard thickness provided for in the project bid documents. A few additional minor variations with bid documents were encountered. Water System staff have negotiated additional related costs at some length with Chatfield Contracting, and propose a not to exceed change order in the amount of $5,971.80 to complete the work.

PURPOSE

To amend a previously adopted action regarding condemnation proceedings on two parcels on Floyd Road, Project No. E6010.

BACKGROUND

Floyd Road is an approved roadway safety and operational improvements project in the 2011 SPLOST Transportation Improvements Program (TIP).

The project scope includes intersection improvements, construction of a raised median, and an eight-foot wide multi-use trail along the west side of Floyd Road, from Veterans Memorial Highway to Fontaine Road. A ten-foot wide multi-use trail will be constructed from Fontaine Road to Clay Road. A separate pedestrian bridge will be constructed to the west of the existing roadway bridge on Floyd Road over the railroad. The project limits extend from Veterans Memorial Highway to Clay Road for a project length of 0.61 miles.

On February 25, 2014, the Board of Commissioners approved a request to determine that circumstances were such that it was necessary to proceed with condemnation proceedings on Parcels 8 and 11 within the Floyd Road project. Due to plan revisions, the required temporary driveway easement areas were increased from 700.00 square feet to 1,850.36 square feet for Parcel 8, and from 700.00 square feet to 1,806.80 square feet for Parcel 11; therefore, it is necessary to amend the areas of required easement acquisition previously approved.

PURPOSE

To determine that circumstances are such that it is necessary to proceed with condemnation proceedings by Declaration of Taking under O.C.G.A. 32-3-4, et seq., on seven parcels on Pine Mountain Road, Project No. E6030.

BACKGROUND

Pine Mountain Road is an approved roadway safety and operational improvements project in the 2011 SPLOST Transportation Improvements Program (TIP).

The project scope includes horizontal and vertical improvements to comply with sight distance requirements, adding curb, gutter and sidewalk on both sides of the roadway and adding turn lanes, as applicable, at major intersections. The project limits are from Stilesboro Road to just east of Shillings Road. A City of Kennesaw project will improve Pine Mountain Road, from Shillings Road to US41. The project length is approximately two miles.

Rights-of-way and additional easements are needed to construct this project. Right-of-way funding for this project is available in the 2011 SPLOST TIP Fund approved budget.

Negotiations with the property owner are ongoing; however, in order to ensure project deadlines are met, the Department is requesting condemnation approval by the Board of Commissioners in the event negotiations are unsuccessful, and the Land Acquisition Review Committee, consisting of the Departments Development Services, Right-of-Way and Construction staff, and the Countys Legal personnel, recommends a condemnation action be filed.

PURPOSE

To approve a Grant Contract with the Georgia Department of Transportation for construction of the new air traffic control tower at Cobb County AirportMcCollum Field.

BACKGROUND

On December 20, 2012, the Board of Commissioners authorized the advertisement for and issuance of a Request for Qualifications, and authorized the submission of a grant application to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), for the design/construction of a new air traffic control tower. The Board also approved Work Order No. E1 with The LPA Group, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $94,590.00, for a required air traffic control tower site study and to update the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Annual Goal for Cobb County AirportMcCollum Field.

On July 9, 2013, the Board approved a design/build contract with Peter Brown Construction, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $734,004.00, for the new air traffic control tower at Cobb County AirportMcCollum Field.

On December 10, 2013, the Board approved the Airport Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP) annual update for Cobb County Airport-McCollum Field, which identified the new Air Traffic Control Tower Project as an approved FY14 project in the ACIP.

In order to meet state fiscal year deadlines, the State of Georgia has requested that the County be prepared to execute a contract with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT), in a minimum amount of $1,375,000.00, to fund the eligible project construction costs of the new air traffic control tower.

The Department will present an agenda item to the Board at a later date to appropriate funding

awarded through any Grant Contract executed.

Construction of the new air traffic control tower will take approximately nine months. An FAA Safety and Risk Management Study was conducted to identify and mitigate risks to operations during construction and transition.

IMPACT STATEMENT

The new Air Traffic Control Tower Project is estimated to cost $2,991,623.51. Funding from FAA and GDOT is being offered in a minimum amount of $1,375,000.00, which will require a local match of $1,616,623.51. Local match in the amount of $986,763.01 is available for contracts within the project, resulting in a need for additional local match in the amount of $629,860.50. The additional required local match is available in the Airport's approved FY14 Fund Balance Reserve account and from anticipated FY14 excess revenues over FY14 expenses, and will be appropriated at a later date once the GDOT Grant Contract amount has been finalized.

DATE: May 13, 2014

PURPOSE

To authorize the submission of a FY14 National Infrastructure Grant application to the United States Department of Transportation for capital projects.

BACKGROUND

The Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) Discretionary Grant program was first created in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. Through the ARRA and subsequent four appropriations acts, Congress provided the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) with funding for six rounds of competitive grants, totaling more than $4.1 billion, for capital investments in surface transportation infrastructure.

The FY14 Consolidated Appropriations Act authorized $600 million to be awarded by USDOT for the TIGER Discretionary Grants program. As in previous rounds, the FY14 TIGER Discretionary Grant program funds capital investments in surface transportation infrastructure, and grants are to be awarded on a competitive basis for projects that will have a significant impact on the Nation, a metropolitan area, or a region. Eligible applicants for TIGER Discretionary Grants are state and local governments. Eligible projects include traditional surface transportation projects as well as passenger and freight rail transportation. To be eligible to receive funding, projects, or elements of a project, must have independent utility, which means that the project provides transportation benefits and is ready for its intended use upon completion of project construction.

Norfolk Southern Railway Company (NS) is currently planning to expand the Whitaker Intermodal Terminal in Austell and desires to partner with Cobb County to pursue funding for the expansion under the TIGER Grant program. The project consists of the realignment of existing trackage, construction of approximately 814 paved parking spots, paved pathways, installation or modification of lighting, fencing, security cameras, utilities, air compressors and air lines. Drainage structures, other items, and the procurement of two additional overhead intermodal lift cranes are also included. All work will take place on property owned by subsidiaries of NS. The total cost of the project is $31.9 million. Federal funding requested will fund 49.8 percent of the total project costs, or $15.9 million, and NS will fund 50.1 percent, or $16 million. Cobb County responsibilities will consist of applying for the grant and managing the grant, if awarded. County costs required to administer and manage the grant funds will be absorbed by NS; therefore, no County funds will be required.

Norfolk Southern Railway Companys Austell Intermodal Terminal is the largest intermodal facility in Georgia, handling over 425,000 containers and trailers in 2013. With a capacity to handle approximately 475,000 units annually, the facility will likely reach its full capacity in 2015.

The proposed expansion of the Austell facility complements operations at multiple intermodal terminals, including two Crescent Corridor facilities (located in Alabama and Tennessee) which were funding during the 2010 TIGER I competitive grant program. The proposed capacity expansion at Austell also complements the Pennsylvania Intermodal Facility Expansion funded by the 2011 TIGER III grant program. A recent economic benefits study by Insight Research indicates the proposed expansion of Austell will complement all Crescent Corridor projects, expand access to Florida and Chicago, and enhance an inland gateway for the Port of Savannah. This study cumulatively estimates nearly $40 billion in project related economic development opportunities by 2034.

To compete for these funds, the Board of Commissioners must authorize the submission of a grant application to the USDOT. If selected to receive an award under the TIGER VI Grant program, the Department will present an agenda item to the Board requesting authorization to accept and manage the grant, in an amount not to exceed the allocated funding. The Department's Agency Director, Faye DiMassimo, will be the designated contract person for all matters associated with the grant application.

IMPACT STATEMENT

The total cost of the NS expansion project is $31.9 million. Federal funding requested will fund 49.8 percent of the total project costs, or $15.9 million; NS will fund 50.1 percent, or $16 million. Cobb County responsibilities will consist of applying for and managing the grant, if awarded. County costs required to administer and manage the grant funds will be absorbed by NS; therefore, no County funds will be required.

PURPOSE

To approve the Cobb Community Transit Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program goal for Fiscal Years 2015-2017.

BACKGROUND

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) requires recipients of transit funds in excess of $250,000.00 annually (excluding transit vehicle purchases) to have an approved Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program in place and to develop a DBE goal annually, or when funding has been awarded for a project.

On July 27, 2004, the Board of Commissioners approved the Departments DBE plan.

On March 5, 2010, a final rule changed the FTA regulation concerning the frequency of submission regarding the methodology and process used to establish overall DBE goals for federally funded contracting opportunities. Under the final rule, recipients must submit overall goals for review every three years, rather than annually. The three-year cumulative DBE goal established for Cobb Community Transit (CCT) for Fiscal Years 2015-2017 is five percent. The DBE goal was established using FTA methodology.

In an effort to increase public awareness of CCTs DBE program, the Departments Transit Division hosted a public outreach meeting on March 12, 2014. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss upcoming transit projects and proposed DBE goals for Fiscal Years 2015-2017.

Comm. Dist.

Page 77 of 242

Following Board approval, a notice will be placed in the Marietta Daily Journal and two minority publications to inform the public that the proposed goal and rationale are available for review for 30 days, and that comments on the goal will be accepted for 45 days from the date of the notice. At the end of the 45-day period, the goal will be submitted to the FTA for review and approval.

For all projects that receive FTA funding, the utilization of DBEs by consultants and contractors will be applied towards CCTs overall DBE goal.

PURPOSE

To adopt a resolution authorizing the submission of Amendment No. 1 to the FY14 Federal Transit Administration Section 5337 Grant application (Grant No. GA-54-0002) for transit capital and operating related projects.

BACKGROUND

A two-year transportation authorization entitled Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) was signed into law on July 6, 2012. The new law authorized funding in FY13 and FY14 for public transportation. MAP-21 furthers several important goals including safety, state of good repair, performance, and program efficiency. Under MAP-21, various grant funding programs were restructured through consolidation, elimination, or creation of new programs.

A new formula-based State of Good Repair program was established under the Section 5337 program, which is the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) first stand-alone initiative written into law dedicated specifically to repairing and upgrading transit systems that operate vehicles in High-Occupancy Vehicle lanes (HOV) or fixed guide-way transit. These funds reflect a commitment to ensuring that public transit operates safely, efficiently, reliably, and sustainably so that communities can offer balanced transportation choices that help to improve mobility, reduce congestion, and encourage economic deve
