Committee approves routine contracts, change orders and Sabin Center cost-sharing MOU
Summary
The Tuscaloosa City committee approved Items 1 through 13 by voice votes, covering right-of-way use permits, multiple contract amendments and minor public-works contracts, and a joint-funding memorandum of understanding with the Sabin Center Foundation for time-lapse media.
The Tuscaloosa City committee voted by voice to approve a package of routine contracts, change orders and a memorandum of understanding covering Items 1–13 on the agenda.
Key approvals included a right-of-way use permit for Academy Drive Homeowners Association to add an additional brick column at an existing entrance monument (Item 1); Amendment No. 2 with TTL for the University Boulevard East roadway improvement project to reallocate $35,025 for bid and design work (Item 2); a deductive change order of $3,007.99 for the Hillier Fletcher headworks/bar screen project (Item 4); an as-needed professional services agreement for lift-station chemical services with Thornton Musso and Bellaman for $22,445.50 (Item 5); and multiple minor public-works contracts for landscaping, sidewalk repairs, valve installation and gym improvements at Fire Station No. 6 (Items 6–9, 11).
Other approvals included an as-needed painting contract with Red Oak Company not to exceed $45,000 for fiscal year 2026 (Item 10); a $39,398.37 change order for JC Park landscape and drainage work adjacent to Kicker Road (Item 11), which staff said pushes that contract just over $10,000,000 and will be covered through a corresponding budget revision; and authorization of a professional services contract with Lance Holloway Productions to produce time-lapse photography and video of the Sabin Center construction site along with an MOU with the Sabin Center Foundation to share costs (Items 12–13).
Most approvals were taken by general voice vote with members saying "aye." Item 11 was approved "without Mister Turner's vote" as noted in the transcript. Where dollar amounts or specific contract numbers were not read into the record, the committee packet was referenced; the transcript does not record roll-call tallies for these items.
The committee set its next meeting for Tuesday, Oct. 21, and adjourned.
