Gwinnett commissioners on Tuesday awarded construction contracts for four pedestrian safety projects.

One project will build new sidewalks on the north side of McDonough Drive from Dawson Boulevard to Graves Road, bus shelter pads for future bus shelters, plus curb, gutter, and drainage improvements. CMES Inc. was the lowest of four bidders at $334,544. Completion is planned for mid-2016. Funding comes from the 2014 SPLOST program and a federal stimulus grant.

Three other projects will connect existing sidewalks near Little Mulberry Park including the south side of Hog Mountain Road from east of Mulberry Oaks Court to Hamilton Mill Parkway and the north side of Hog Mountain Road from Ridgemill Terrace to Jim Moore Road, from east of Jim Moore Road to Greenside Court and from west of Patrick Road to Pine Road. The third project will construct sidewalk along the east side of Jim Moore Road from Greenside Court to the existing sidewalk north of Greenside Court. Curb, gutter and other drainage improvements are included in all three projects. Ohmshiv Construction LLC was the lowest of three bidders at $879,254.50. The 2009 SPLOST program is funding the improvements, which should be finished by mid-2016.

Board Chairman Charlotte Nash said, “I’m proud that we are continuing to make pedestrian safety improvements with SPLOST funds.”
