Cobb to pay $7 million for water system construction management

The Cobb County Board of Commissioners voted 5-0 Tuesday to pay about $7 million to Jacobs Project Management Co.

Jacobs will lead a team to provide construction management services for the water system’s capital improvement projects to begin in 2016 through 2018.

These companies include Engineering Design Technologies, Moonshower’s, JAT Consulting, Gaskins Engineering and Surveying and One Vision Utility Service, according to a Tuesday memo from Stephen D. McCullers, director of the county’s water system.

The agreement includes renewals for 2017 and 2018 with options to extend for two more years.
