C. BACKGROUND

The City of Newnan seeks to expand the LINC trail system to Newnan High School and the Newnan

Utilities Carl Miller Park. The LINC Phase 13 project is being built within public right-of-way and on city easement within the Board of Education and Newnan Utilities properties. The Phase 13 project is a approximately 6,054 linear feet (1.15 miles) and includes a 10’ to 12’ wide concrete trail, landscape, stormwater improvements, road width and parking reconfigurations, along with bridge structures and retaining walls. Additional work associated with the project includes minor demolition and clearing, erosion control, grading, trail amenities, and signage.

Portions of this project are located adjacent to Newnan High School and within areas of heightened public sensitivity.

Construction activities adjacent to

Newnan High School are anticipated to commence immediately following the conclusion of the school year, with a target construction start date of May 25, 2026. Work along Cougar Way and other areas adjacent to Newnan High School is considered time-critical and must be substantially complete prior to the start of the 2026–2027 school year. The City is prepared to work collaboratively with the selected contractor to facilitate this schedule, including coordination of work hours, traffic control measures, and temporary access restrictions as necessary. Contractors are advised that subsequent paving and related work by others is anticipated to follow closely behind portions of this project. As such, proactive coordination, early mobilization, and aggressive scheduling for this area will be required to meet overall project objectives.
