Autauga County approves $1.45 million contract for Pine Level Park ballfields under LWCF grant
Summary
The Autauga County Commission on Sept. 3 approved a $1,448,787.60 construction contract for Pine Level Park ballfields using an FY2022 Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) grant, and authorized the chairman to execute contract documents.
The Autauga County Commission voted unanimously on Sept. 3 to accept an FY2022 Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) grant for Pine Level Park and award the construction contract to David Bulger, Inc. for $1,448,787.60.
Chairman Jay Thompson was authorized to execute the necessary contract documents after the commission approved Resolution No. 2024-31, which cites Project Number 22-LW-1072 from the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA). The motion to approve the contract was made by Commissioner Bill Tatum and seconded by Commissioner John L. Thrailkill; the motion carried by unanimous vote.
The resolution states the county complied with the State Code of Alabama, Section 41-16-50 ("Competitive Bid Law") and that David Bulger, Inc. was the responsible low bidder and is active in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov). The resolution lists the bid amount and authorizes contract execution; it does not specify a construction start date or project completion schedule.
The bid award follows the county's procurement review and a recommendation from the county's consultant (Hunter Skipper of Sain Associates) that the David Bulger bid be accepted. The project will be funded in part by LWCF grant monies; the resolution does not provide a full funding breakdown or other local match amounts.
The commission's action now allows staff to finalize contract documents and proceed with pre-construction steps. No public comment or dissent on the award was recorded in the minutes. The commission recessed briefly into executive session later in the meeting on an unrelated public-safety matter and adjourned at 5:50 p.m.
