Brookhaven Issues Invitation to Bid for Peachtree Creek Greenway

From The City of Brookhaven: Brookhaven’s game-changing Peachtree Creek Greenway (PCG) is one step closer to reality. On Friday, the City issued an Invitation to Bid for construction services of Phase I of the PCG, which will stretch 1.27 miles from North Druid Hills Road to Briarwood Road.

“This is an important milestone for the Peachtree Creek Greenway as the Invitation to Bid signals that we are ready to get shovels in the ground this year and make this grand dream a reality,” said Brookhaven City Manager Christian Sigman.

The PCG Master Plan outlines a series of nature trails, paved multi-purpose trails, and promenade trails which will connect Brookhaven’s portion into the 12.3-mile Peachtree Creek Trail project from Mercer University in unincorporated DeKalb to the PATH400 trail, the South Fork Conservancy Trails and the Atlanta Beltline. The PCG will also provide connectivity to areas beyond as part of a larger network of multi-use trails to residences, offices, restaurants, bike rental stands, coffee shops, and picnic areas.

The PATH Foundation will oversee the construction of Phase 1. In March 2017, the City Council voted to engage the foundation for engineering of this section, which is the central link in Brookhaven’s 2.9 miles of the trail.

The bid deadline is Tuesday, Oct. 16, at 10 a.m. Among the requirements for the project is completion within 270 days. More information, along with bid documents and other requirements, can be found here: https://www.brookhavenga.gov/finance/page/itb-18-289-peachtree-creek-greenway-trail.
