A design and build contract was awarded to Choate Construction in October. The deck, which is being built just off the Marietta Square in connection with the new Cobb Superior Courthouse, will include approximately 534 parking spaces. Of those, 304 will be dedicated to County government employees and 230 to the general public.
To fund the project, the board is expected to approve the issuance of tax-exempt bond obligations and/or Build America Bonds, which are issued through the Association of County Commissioners of Georgia's Lease Purchase Financing Program.
Also during the board's Tuesday morning meeting:
* Cobb County Water System will be presented with multiple awards. The Cobb Water System was selected 2009 Water Distribution System of the Year by the Georgia Association of Water Professionals, a non-profit organization made up of more than 5,000 members. GAWP also gave the Northwest Water System Facility and the R.L. Sutton Water Reclamation Facility the Platinum Award, given to facilities with five or more consecutive years of permit compliance. Northwest has had eight consecutive years, while R.L. Sutton has 10.
* Mountain View Regional Library will likely be approved to accept an Early Literacy Station, a computer system designed to help children ages 2 through 10 with literacy and computer skills, from the Cobb County Public Library Foundation.
* Lockheed Martin will receive the GAWP 2009 Industrial Laboratory of the Year award for the lab's quality assurance program.
