Council adopted a 14-item consent agenda and approved multiple resolutions: a $1,267,614 traffic-signal project (city share $253,522.80), a Court Street TAP award, two 2026 Chevrolet Silverado purchases, a BidNet contract and a demolition clarification; the council also authorized other agenda items as listed in consent.
The Prattville City Council on Nov. 18 approved a multi-item consent agenda and adopted several regular-agenda resolutions authorizing infrastructure and procurement expenditures.
The council created and adopted a consent agenda that included 14 items: multiple nuisance/abatement declarations for overgrown grass, garbage and rubbish at specified addresses under Chapter 46 of the City of Prattville Code of Ordinances; acceptance of subdivision improvements for McCain/McLean Landing plats; a retail beer/wine off-premises license for Prattville Convenience LLC (GX Mark 1); and authorization to consent to a cable franchise transfer from Knowledge of Alabama d/b/a WOW Internet to Bandit Midco Inc.
On the regular agenda the council authorized a construction agreement with the Alabama Department of Transportation for a Montgomery MPO carbon-reduction program to upgrade traffic signals at three East Main Street intersections. The project total was stated as not to exceed $1,267,614, with a net city share not to exceed $253,522.80.
The council also awarded bid 025-013 to Murphy Excavation LLC for the Court Street streetscape (TAP project TAPMNTA24941) at a total cost cited as not to exceed $3,636,426.50 and a net city cost not to exceed $127,285.30, and authorized the purchase of two 2026 Chevrolet Silverado work trucks at a total cost not to exceed $87,765.47 through a state contract. The council authorized an agreement with International Database Corp. (BidNet) for online bid posting at a cost not to exceed $2,652.25 per year. All items were approved by the council.
Council discussion referenced the role of MPO and TAP federal funding in leveraging local matches, and councilors commended staff for winning competitive federal funds. The finance director presented the monthly reports earlier in the meeting, showing October revenues and fund balances that councilors said informed capital planning.
What happens next: staff will execute the ALDOT and contractor agreements, and procurement orders will proceed. The mayor and departments will track project implementation and the capital budget line items allocated in FY26.
