Council approves $108,487.50 drainage contract for 3262 33rd Avenue North
Summary
The Birmingham City Council voted to accept a $108,487.50 lump-sum bid from Gillespie Construction LLC for drainage improvements at 3262 33rd Avenue North after pulling the item from the consent agenda so the district could be notified when work begins.
The Birmingham City Council voted on Nov. 25 to accept a $108,487.50 lump-sum bid from Gillespie Construction LLC for drainage improvements at 3262 33rd Avenue North.
The measure, read into the record by the clerk, authorizes the mayor to enter into a contract with Gillespie Construction LLC (1212 Stuttard Road, Jasper, AL 35503) substantially in the form contained in the bid documents, provided the total compensation payable does not exceed the appropriation. Council members moved and seconded the item after it was pulled from the consent agenda for separate consideration.
Council President Pro Tem Latanya Tate requested the item be removed from consent to ensure residents in North Birmingham were notified. “Just wanted to make the North Birmingham community aware of this drainage project… and if you could, please let me know when construction begins so we can highlight that and make them public aware,” Tate said during debate.
After the brief discussion the council voted to approve the resolution; the clerk announced that item 47 passed. The transcript does not include a roll-call tally in full on the record. The resolution directs the mayor to execute the contract and limits total compensation to the amount appropriated.
The approved work addresses localized drainage at the single property listed in the bid documents; the contract is contingent on the appropriation amount specified in the bid materials. No construction start date was recorded in the meeting minutes.
