Fayette County awards $264,225 contract to update 2026 Comprehensive Transportation Plan

Fayette County commissioners on Dec. 11 approved awarding RFP #26031-P, the 2026 Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP) update, to Gresham Smith for a lump sum of $264,225.43 and approved reallocation of $24,225.43 from SPLOST 17TAK to 25TAD to fund the award.

Public Works staff said the contract will fund an update of the county’s transportation plan and that the requested reallocation will cover the full contract amount. Vice Chairman Edward Gibbons moved to approve the award and the SPLOST reallocation; Commissioner Eric K. Maxwell seconded and the motion passed 4-0 with Commissioner Charles W. Oddo absent.

Assistant County Administrator Jason Tinsley included the CTP update among several 'hot projects' discussed for year-end reporting and said staff will proceed with contract execution following board approval. The minutes do not record additional contract terms beyond the award amount and funding source reallocation.
