Votes at a glance: contract awards for pool, parks and playgrounds approved; CIP sent to public hearing
Summary
At its Feb. 6 meeting the Assembly Finance Committee approved three procurement awards — a pool replaster, park improvements and a playground design/build — and voted to send the FY26 draft Capital Improvement Program to the Assembly for public hearing on Feb. 27.
What the committee approved
- IFB 25‑049 (Hammy Pool replaster): Award to Callahan Construction Company for $700,000. Motion to approve made by Assemblymember Haney and seconded by Assemblymember Reeves Ramos; recorded vote showed eight yeas and one no (Assemblymember Wilson). The contract award was accepted and will proceed to standard procurement contracting.
- IFB 25‑055 (Chena Lake Recreation Area revitalization, Phase 1B): Award of base bid and Additive Alternate No. 1 to Groundhogs LLC in the amount of $249,709.60. Motion carried by recorded vote; the tally as recorded was eight yeas and one no (Assemblymember Wilson).
- RFP 25‑046 (South Fairbanks Park design/build): Award to Trust Construction, Inc., for base bid and alternates totaling $793,492. Proposal evaluation was conducted under title 16 procurement rules; the highest‑ranked responsive offer was accepted. The committee approved the award by recorded roll call: seven yeas, two no votes (Assemblymembers Roterman and Wilson).
Other committee action
- Resolution 2025‑03 (FY26 Capital Improvement Program): The committee voted to forward the draft CIP resolution to the Assembly for public hearing on Feb. 27, 2025 (9‑0). Committee members debated several amendments during the meeting; the CIP as forwarded includes multiple timing and funding‑code changes and leaves roughly $6.2 million in CIP MR as an estimated FY26 ending balance after proposed FY26 allocations.
Context and next steps
Each procurement award will move to standard contract processing and execution by the borough. The CIP draft will be presented at the Assembly public hearing on Feb. 27; additional amendments will be possible there. Committee staff noted that additional documentation (utility invoices for base‑leased schools, condition surveys and updated cost estimates) will be provided before final CIP adoption.
