The Milton City Council has approved a task order of up to $750,000 to have BM&K P.C., an engineering consultant and construction management firm, to manage projects funded by the Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax approved by voters last fall.

“These (program management) services will include overall coordination with all team members, program budgets and cash flow, overall schedule and lettings, cash-based scheduling, coordinating milestone reviews, and providing updates and reporting to city staff,” according to a staff report to the council.

The council also approved a professional services agreement with Pond & Co. to plan some of the first TSPLOST projects.

Pond will be paid $33,300 to draw up concept plans for the Northeast Crabapple Connector Road from Mayfield Road to Birmingham Highway, with intersection improvements at Mayfield and Charlotte Drive; and $21,700 to plan intersection improvements at Hopewell Road and Bethany Bend, Bethany Way and Bethany Oaks Point, staff said.
