Finance committee recommends mayor sign $2 million ALDOT construction agreement
Summary
The Homewood City Finance Committee voted 3-0 July 1 to recommend that the mayor execute a construction agreement with the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) for a project funded by a $2,000,000 grant; the city would cover costs above that grant if bids exceed the award.
At its July 1 meeting, the Homewood City Finance Committee recommended the mayor sign a construction agreement with the Alabama Department of Transportation tied to a local road project funded by a $2,000,000 ALDOT grant.
The committee chair called for a motion to recommend the mayor execute the agreement; a staff member confirmed, “It’s $2,000,000.” The committee voted 3-0 to forward the item to council for the mayor’s signature.
City staff told the committee the project includes access management, pedestrian improvements and resurfacing for the specified corridor and is currently in the design phase. Staff said the city would be responsible for any costs above the $2 million grant once the project is bid.
Committee members asked about timing; staff said construction is expected next summer if the project proceeds to bid. The committee’s approval was limited to recommending the mayor execute the agreement — the city’s eventual financial obligation will depend on the final bid and any costs that exceed the ALDOT grant.
The committee forwarded the recommendation to council; no additional conditions were recorded in the transcript.
