Summary
Council approved Resolution 25 1 86 to amend the AECOM engineering contract for the SR‑20/US‑31 lighting rehabilitation project, adding $22,714 to cover extended inspection and engineering work; staff said activity could begin within weeks and the MPO may cover part of the cost with an 80/20 split.
The Decatur City Council approved Resolution 25 1 86 to amend the engineering contract for the SR‑20/US‑31 lighting rehabilitation project, adding $22,714 to cover extended inspection and engineering services.
Staff told the council the amendment responds to added time on the contract with AECOM and extends the inspection time frame for the engineering firm. A city staff member said the work could begin “from today through sometime early October,” with activity likely to start within the next few weeks. Councilmember Williams asked whether the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) would help pay costs; staff said the MPO is evaluating the item for funding and, if approved, the split would follow an 80/20 pattern.
The council approved the resolution; the clerk recorded that item C was approved “4 to 0 with 1 abstention.” No contractor change beyond the inspection extension was described at the meeting, and staff indicated the amendment covers the additional inspection period rather than new construction work.
