Wetumpka council approves geotechnical and survey work for Rivertown Center Phase 1
Summary
The Wetumpka City Council approved professional-services contracts for Rivertown Center Phase 1, including up to $15,000 for geotechnical testing and up to $25,000 for a survey, track study and ALDOT permitting to support development on the west side of the Coosa River.
The Wetumpka City Council on a unanimous voice vote approved two professional-services contracts for Rivertown Center Phase 1, the downtown-adjacent development on the west side of the river.
Unidentified Speaker 1 said the first contract authorizes geotechnical testing on an hourly rate basis not to exceed $15,000; council members moved, seconded and voted to approve the expenditure. The council then approved a second contract to perform a survey, a track study and to pursue Alabama Department of Transportation permitting for the project not to exceed $25,000.
City staff said the two contracts are part of preconstruction work for Rivertown Center Phase 1 and were presented as routine professional services tied to the development. Both motions were made and seconded, and the chair called for voice votes; council members answered "Aye" and the motions carried.
The approvals advance site-analysis and permitting steps, including coordination with ALDOT, that the city said are needed before construction-related work can proceed. No contract vendors or implementation timelines were specified in the meeting record.
