iv. Easement Request ~ Georgia Power Company ~ Upgrade of Service Equipment at the Briarlake Elementary School Site
Summary: Presented by: Mr. Erick Hofstetter, Chief Operating Officer, Division of Operations
Request: It is requested that the DeKalb County Board of Education (“the Board”) approve grant of an easement to the Georgia Power Company for upgrades to electric distribution facilities at the Briarlake ES site for the capital improvement construction project.
Why: Granting of the easement supports improved electric service reliability to the Briarlake ES Site (“the Site”) and other DeKalb County residences by upgrading all equipment needed for completion of the HVAC construction project.
Details: The purpose of this project is to install and maintain electrical and communication lines, poles, and equipment on the site. Georgia Power requests permission to maintain, repair and rebuild on all equipment including wires, transformers, and cables to strengthen the service to the Briarlake ES site off Lavista Road. Overhead lines in certain areas may be more prone to outages caused by trees contacting lines or vehicular collisions. Removing any trees and other obstructions to the lines and equipment will aid in providing the area with quality service. This easement request is aligned with the construction work at Briarlake ES to upgrade all HVAC systems equipment and improve the facility.
The property site is 3590 Lavista Rd, Atlanta, GA 30345 - Briarlake Elementary School. The area of the requested easement is defined as any portion of the property located within fifteen (15) feet of the centerline of the overhead distribution line(s) as installed in the approximate location shown on “Exhibit A”.
Financial impact: The easement will directly benefit the DeKalb County School District. The financial impact of the easement will be $10.00 paid by Georgia Power Company to the District. Funds will be allocated to the General Fund Charge Code.
