Gadsden City Council adopted a resolution July 1 awarding bid number 3603 for the 2025 George Wallace Drive resurfacing project at a total cost of $455,284.50.

Councilman Wilson introduced the project as coming from the engineering department and said the city has developed internal resources that allow it to undertake larger paving projects. He asked the council to suspend the rules to consider the resolution under new business; consent was granted and the resolution was then adopted by voice vote.

The council record identifies the project, the bid number (3603) and the total contract amount but does not list the contractor name, the project schedule, or a detailed funding source in the meeting remarks. No amendments or conditions were recorded during the discussion.

Council members stated the resurfacing project has been long anticipated and framed the work as part of a broader effort to expand the city's internal paving capacity. The council did not request a separate staff report or timeline during the vote recorded in the transcript.
