Sandy Springs OKs $490K Morgan Falls roadwork
The Sandy Springs City Council has approved a $490,343 contract to complete aesthetic improvements to Morgan Falls Road from the Morgan Falls Apartments to Morgan Falls Overlook Park on the Chattahoochee River.
Pending approval by the Georgia Department of Transportation and the Sandy Springs Legal and Finance departments, Ed Castro Landscape Inc. will be responsible for site grading, a retaining wall, monumental signage, landscaping, a storm drainage system with bio-retention rain garden, and erosion control measures.
Castro submitted the lowest of four bids for the work; the highest bid came in at more than $1 million. Federal funds are available through GDOT for up to $500,000, and the city will be obligated for a local match of 20 percent, or $98,070, according to a staff report to the Council.
The city last year made improvements to the street itself from Roswell Road to the 27.8-acre park.
