Council approves culvert replacement, crosswalk upgrades and a CMP lining change order
Summary
Council approved a set of public-works contracts and a deductive change order: a culvert replacement on 36th Avenue East, downtown crosswalk continental striping phase 1, and a $19,286 deductive change order on the 2025 CMP lining project.
The Tuscaloosa City Council approved multiple routine public-works contracts and a change order during its agenda.
Staff recommended awarding the 36th Avenue East culvert replacement at Rainbow Drive to Southeast Resideo Coating after public-works crews found a deteriorated corrugated metal pipe. Council approved the award by voice vote.
The council also approved a minor-works contract to begin phase 1 of converting downtown crosswalks to continental striping (perpendicular bands that improve pedestrian visibility). The downtown phase covers University South to 7th, 23rd to Queen City and other targeted corridors.
Additionally, the council approved a deductive balancing change order of $19,286 for the 2025 CMP lining project (work at three locations). Staff explained the lining extends pipe life by decades and that the change order reduces the contract value.
All items were approved by motion and voice votes as recorded in the transcript.
