Council OKs ALDOT construction agreement for Bowen Way industrial access project (no net city cost)
Summary
The council approved a construction agreement with ALDOT for the Bowen Way widening and resurfacing Industrial Access Road (IAR) project to benefit Project Magnolia; award totals $1,183,000 with net cost to the city listed as $0.
The Prattville City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the mayor to enter into a construction agreement with the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) for an Industrial Access Road project — Bowen Way widening and resurfacing (IAR-001-000-013, CPMS #100081255) — to benefit Project Magnolia. The resolution states total project cost will not exceed $1,183,000 and lists the net cost to the city as $0 because the work is funded through the ALDOT award.
Councilors moved and seconded the resolution and the body adopted it by voice/raised-hand. The resolution authorizes the mayor to execute all necessary documents and for the clerk to keep a copy of the agreement on file once fully executed.
Economic-development context: council materials and mayoral remarks connected the IAR project to Project Magnolia as a means to provide industrial access and site readiness; city leaders emphasized that the award relieves the city of direct capital expenditure for the work.
What happens next: the mayor is authorized to sign the agreement on behalf of the city; staff will file the executed agreement with the city clerk and initiate required coordination with ALDOT and contractors.
