The proposed bond projects include capital projects for parks, recreation, bike and pedestrian improvements, sidewalks, a new public safety headquarters, new fire stations, and a parking deck. This project will consist of embankment rehabilitation, dredging, and retaining wall replacement for the Roswell Area Park Pond. The embankment will be reconstructed to meet current embankment standards, the retaining wall will be replaced due to safety concerns, and the pond will be dredged to increase stormwater capacity. The pond will also be redesigned to meet current stormwater standards. In addition, the pond will serve as a regional stormwater facility. On July 3, 2025, the City of Roswell advertised the project (RFP K Roswell Area Park Pond Embankment Rehabilitation) on the City of Roswell website and also posted on the Georgia Procurement Registry. On July 31, 2025, 1 bid was received in response to the subject solicitation. An evaluation of the proposal found that the contractor did not have the experience required by the City to perform the work. The City then reached out to the other contractors who attended the pre-bid meeting, and determined that GradeCo, Inc had the necessary experience, specifically related to earthen embankment rehabilitation. The City negotiated with GradeCo, Inc, and GradeCo provided a cost of \$1,981,825.60 to perform the work.
Agenda Item (ID # 9910) Staff recommends awarding the contract to GradeCo, Inc. in an amount of \$1,981,825.60. Staff also recommends allocating \$508,658.40 in contingency to allow for any unforeseen circumstances encountered during construction. Staff also recommends allocating \$137,641 for Construction Administration, Construction Inspection, and Construction Materials Testing. Financial Impact: Funding in the amount of \$2,628,125 is available from the bond proceeds. Comments: No backup documents.

The primary goal of this initiative is to promote responsible driving behavior among all motorists, thereby enhancing the overall safety and quality of life for residents.

The program also seeks to limit truck traffic and other unsuitable vehicles from entering local neighborhoods. A presentation will be given during the Committee meeting outlining the proposed traffic calming matrix, the program process, and next steps, which will also include an extensive communications outreach program.
