Mt Vernon Rd Multi Use Trail Water Main Relocation Not To Exceed $2,894,225
NEED/IMPACT:
The COD project, Mount Vernon Road at Tilly Mill Road project is scheduled to begin construction in Winter/Spring 2026. The project consists of replacing approximately 3,500 LF of 8-inch and 3,000 LF of 16-inch water main along the Mt. Vernon corridor between Mt. Vernon Place and Jett Ferry Road. The Department of Watershed Management (DWM) will provide funding and oversight to COD for the waterline replacement of the existing eight (8) inch and a new sixteen (16) inch waterline portion of the project.
It is important to both DWM and COD to include the waterline installation on major roadway projects to ensure the work is performing concurrently. This minimizes the impact to adjacent property owners and the traveling public. In order to include the installation in the COD’s roadway construction contract, DWM must agree to pay the listed cost of completing the work.
