Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. R. 672-12-.12 - County and City Contract Program
(1)
Scope and Purpose. To
provide capital assistance for each Local Government (County/City) to maintain
and improve the roads and drainage within their respective transportation
systems.
(2)
Terms and
Conditions. Each Local Government must submit a priority list of desired
projects they wish to have considered for State Aid assistance through the
County and City Contract Program. The priority list is evaluated by the
Department of Transportation's engineers based on a needs assessment and cost
estimates for the project. The Department of Transportation's engineers make
recommendations to the Commissioner of Transportation.
(3)
Eligible Recipients. All
Counties and Cities within the State are eligible. State and Local School
systems qualify but funding contracts are through respective Counties and
Cities.
(4)
Criteria for
Award. Priorities that are located on the County, City, or State
property are eligible for consideration. Eligible priorities must meet
acceptable needs evaluation and funding must be available prior to approval
under this Program. County and City Contracts are issued at the discretion of
the Commissioner for paving, resurfacing, sidewalks, drainage materials,
parking facilities, etc. Minimum rights of way requirements set by the
Department of Transportation Board must be acquired for
consideration.
(5)
Directions
and Deadlines. Priority lists can be submitted at any time but the Local
Governments are encouraged to submit them once a year and updated on a yearly
basis. Projects are selected from the priority list by separate request and
selected projects are prepared for contract. County and City Contracts have no
deadline for completion of the project but the Local Governments are encouraged
to complete the work in a timely manner. County and City Contracts placed out
for bid by the Department have completion dates established based on time
needed to complete the project. Counties and Cities with contracts authorized
but not awarded due to rights of way or other clearance problems are encouraged
to proceed diligently toward clearance of the project or remove the project
from their priority list. This will allow the funds to be used on other
projects.
All contracts are engineered and supervised by Department of Transportation engineers, following current guidelines and specifications for construction.
