Chapel Street figures in a $2.9 million paving proposal still on hold

Three road names stand out in a proposed $2,884,455.33 resurfacing agreement: Chapel Street SW, Andrew Young International Boulevard NW and Centennial Olympic Park Drive NW. The Atlanta, Georgia, Transportation Committee is scheduled to revisit the held proposal at 10 a.m. Monday, Nov. 9.⁠[1]

The proposal's funding schedule assigns $465,889.93 to an account labeled “Chapel Street SW Resurfacing,” $347,677.37 to Andrew Young International Boulevard NW and $51,769.30 to Centennial Olympic Park Drive NW. Those allocations total $865,336.60, all from the 2024B AURA Surface Transportation Projects fund.⁠[1]

The remaining $2,019,118.73 would come from the fiscal 2025 Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant account. The street names are funding-account labels, not a complete construction itinerary: the cited agenda materials do not establish the full street list or when paving would begin.⁠[1]

The city's transportation commissioner and chief procurement officer recommend awarding the Group 3 agreement to Blount Construction Company, Inc. and P2K JV. The proposed initial term is one year, with two one-year renewal options at the city's discretion.⁠[1]

That recommendation is not an approval. The legislative history records a unanimous committee hold on Oct. 28 for further review and additional information, followed by the City Council returning the measure as held on Nov. 2. It does not explain what specific information the committee sought.⁠[1]

Monday's meeting is scheduled for the Larry M. Dingle Committee Room at City Hall, 55 Trinity Avenue. The agenda includes a public-comment period with a three-minute limit.⁠[1]
