Gwinnett commissioners on Tuesday awarded a $756,238 contract for new sidewalks, curb, gutter and drainage improvements on Collins Hill Road and Plunketts Road to the lowest of five bidders, Omshiv Construction LLC.

In Lawrenceville, the Collins Hill Road school safety project will construct a five-foot wide sidewalk on the west side of Collins Hill Road from the existing sidewalk north of University Center Lane to the Georgia Gwinnett College tennis facility at Countryside Place.

The pedestrian safety project on Plunketts Road will build new sidewalk on the east side of the road from the entrance to the Environmental Heritage Center to the existing sidewalk at the Woodward Crossing subdivision in Buford.

The 2014 SPLOST program will fund both projects to be completed by mid-2016.
