Summary
Council authorized an agreement with Rich Electric Company to install 46 LED streetlights along Holland Powell Parkway for $39,436.28; the project uses unspent EECBG funds and a $4,429.61 city contribution.
Phenix City Council on April 2025 authorized the mayor and city manager to enter into an agreement with Rich Electric Company, Inc., in the amount of $39,436.28 to install 46 LED streetlights along Holland Powell Parkway. The council recorded that $76,270 in EECBG (Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant) funds had been authorized earlier for streetlight upgrades and that $41,263.30 had already been spent, leaving $35,006.67 unspent.
City staff reported obtaining three quotes for the installation; the lowest responsible quote was from Rich Electric Company, Inc. The council’s resolution states the city will apply the remaining $35,006.67 of EECBG funding and provide the additional $4,429.61 required to complete the work.
The resolution was read into the record by Shannon Davis, the city clerk, and adopted by the council as presented. The transcript records the funding figures and the contract amount; no separate public comment or additional council debate on the contract terms appeared in the meeting record.
Implementation will proceed under the contract terms with Rich Electric; the city will manage the additional payment from municipal funds. The resolution did not specify the source of the city contribution (general fund, capital fund, etc.) in the read text.
