Andalusia City — The Andalusia City Council on Feb. 3 approved the purchase of 240 heavy-duty steel traffic barricades at a total cost of $29,930.19, funded from the city's capital account.
The mayor said the city has purchased similar barricades over the past few years to mark streets for parades and public events and to cordon off dangerous areas, and that the council is seeking uniform color and style. The proposed order is for 240 eight- to eight-and-a-half-foot heavy-duty steel barricades, with the total purchase price listed as $29,930.19 and the funds to come from the capital account.
A council member recorded in the transcript as "Mister Bosel"/"Boswell" moved to approve the purchase from capital; the motion was seconded by Mister Craig. The mayor called for a vote; members responded "aye," and the mayor declared the purchase approved.
Why it matters: The purchase aims to standardize the city's traffic-control equipment for public events and safety operations. The transcript does not identify the vendor, delivery timeline, or storage/maintenance plans for the new barricades.
Next steps: The council approved the order at the Feb. 3 meeting; the transcript does not record delivery dates or implementation details.
