Tuscaloosa County awards $1.627 million contract for Duncanville community safe room; local match increased to $266,000
Summary
The county commission unanimously awarded the FEMA Duncanville Community Safe Room contract to N.C. Morgan Construction Company for $1,627,000 and voted to increase the county's local contribution from $200,000 to $266,000 after Grants Administrator Lauren Benson presented the funding details.
Commissioner Mark C. Nelson moved and Commissioner Stan Acker seconded a motion that the Tuscaloosa County Commission unanimously approved awarding the lowest of nine bids for the FEMA Duncanville Community Safe Room to N.C. Morgan Construction Company for $1,627,000.00, as presented by Grants Administrator Lauren Benson.
The commission also voted unanimously to suspend the rules for budgetary matters and increase the county's contribution to the project from the originally committed $200,000.00 to $266,000.00. The additional $66,000.00 was described in the presentation as the county’s share of the project cost. The vote to suspend the rules was taken because the increased local funding exceeded the amount previously committed.
The action was recorded as a formal contract award and budgetary adjustment; no amendments were recorded at the meeting. The commission did not detail a construction start date or a project timeline at the meeting.
