The Roswell City Council has approved a $175,000 design contract for a new waste transfer station that would replace an existing one built in 1999.
“The facility is currently operating above its current design capacity due to population growth in the city over the last 20 years,” staff said in a report to the council. The existing building, at 1810 Hembree Road, Alpharetta, will be demolished.
The city’s standby engineer, Burns & McDonnell, is tasked with designing a new transfer station building of pre-engineered metal, and pavement, earthwork, utilities and landscaping. The project also will offer a scale and kiosk and resident drop-off area.
In its proposal to the city, Burns & McDonnell said it would deliver design drawings the week of Nov. 18, a cost estimate by Nov. 29 and bid document preparation the week of Dec. 2.
