Gadsden Council approves multiple contract awards and change orders for city projects
Summary
The council awarded a bid for small tools to Tri Green Equipment LLC and approved three change orders: $23,000 added for the solid-waste tipping-floor project (Bob Smith Construction), $102,917.94 added for US-431 turn lane work (Massey Asphalt) due to unexpected soils, and a $10,000 decrease on the Twin Bridges bunker renovation (EcoGolf), all approved by voice vote.
Gadsden City Council on Nov. 10 voted to approve several procurement actions and change orders covering equipment purchases and construction projects.
The council adopted a resolution awarding bid no. 3614 for small tools and equipment to Tri Green Equipment LLC on the recommendation of fleet management and purchasing staff. The council then approved three change orders that finalize contract reconciliations:
• Change order #1 for bid no. 3566 (solid waste transfer station tipping floor): adds $23,000 to Bob Smith Construction for a new contract total of $522,179.
• Change order #1 for bid no. 3570 (U.S. Highway 431 turn lane improvements): adds $102,917.94 to Massey Asphalt Paving LLC for a new total of $397,785.54; staff said crews encountered unexpected soil conditions that required additional work.
• Change order #1 for bid no. 3596 (Twin Bridges Golf Club sand-bunker renovation): reduces the contract with EcoGolf and Athletics Inc. by $10,000 to a revised total of $439,734. Councilmembers praised project staff and contractors and said the course has moved from annual losses toward break-even, with nighttime-golf work tied to an anticipated RISE grant.
Each item was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; the clerk announced motions carried. No roll-call tallies are recorded in the meeting transcript.
