The Alabama Joint Study Commission on Public Notice of Title 39 convened on September 30, 2025, to discuss the progress of a new public works advertising website. The meeting highlighted the collaborative efforts of the Department of Construction Management (DCM) and the State Building Services (SBS) teams in developing this resource.
During the meeting, a representative praised the hard work of the teams involved, particularly programmer Tracy, who has been instrumental in addressing numerous challenges during the website's development. The complexity of the project was emphasized, as it aims to serve a diverse range of entities with varying requirements. The speaker expressed optimism about the website's potential to enhance public access to information and facilitate bidding processes for contractors.
To promote the website, DCM plans to utilize its extensive email list to reach out to architects, engineers, and contractors across the state. An email announcement is expected to be sent out shortly, and the team is seeking additional support from meeting participants to spread the word within their respective organizations.
The meeting concluded with an invitation for questions regarding the website and the report, indicating a commitment to transparency and collaboration as the project moves forward. The commission aims to feature the website prominently in its upcoming report to the legislature, highlighting its significance as a valuable resource for public works advertising.
