Summary
The committee approved a Courterra contract for line-locate software, plaque and signage contracts recognizing donor Emily Baker, TPD facility upgrades, and a cleanup contract for Cotton Park after a restroom fire; all items were approved by voice vote.
At its Jan. 6 meeting the Tuscaloosa City Public Projects Committee approved a series of routine contracts and minor public-works projects.
Item 1 authorized a professional services contract with Courterra Locate Management Services for the city’s line-locate software used when residents call 811, with a not-to-exceed amount of $11,920. S1 confirmed the contract is with the same firm as prior years and the item passed by voice vote.
Item 3 authorized a $36,009.75 contract with a signage vendor listed in the transcript as "Knight signed" to produce a relief plaque honoring donor Emily Baker at the tennis facility. Tim described the plaque as similar to other park plaques already on display.
Item 4 approved a $16,003.37 minor public-works contract for new signage at Powell Gymnasium to reflect recent exterior and interior improvements; the proposed sign will be backlit.
Item 5 approved a $43,005.60 contract with Amison and Associates for improvements at the Tuscaloosa Police Department (TPD) headquarters, including new doors, upgraded locker-room circuitry and exterior lighting; Tim said the work is funded from the TPD outside services line.
Item 6 authorized a $2,440.29 service contract with Allied Emergency Services (doing business as PuroClean) to perform fire-restoration cleaning at Cotton Park following a restroom fire that staff said was likely started by a transient. Tim said the cleanup was submitted to the city’s insurance carrier and that TPD and the fire department are investigating.
Each of the items passed by voice vote. The committee announced its next public projects meeting for Tuesday, Jan. 13, then adjourned.
