Gadsden City Council voted April 7 to award multiple bids and professional agreements tied to the Grow Gadsden bond program and other projects, including major construction contracts for the Gadsden Athletic Center and engineering agreements for local street and intersection work.
The Gadsden City Council on April 7 adopted a series of resolutions awarding construction and professional services contracts tied to the Grow Gadsden bond package and other infrastructure projects.
Key awards approved included multiple bid awards for the Gadsden Athletic Center package and associated work: a site‑work award as presented in the meeting record (amount as read in the transcript was not clearly formatted), an Athletic Fields contract to Game Day Athletic Surfaces Inc. for $2,194,444, a pool project contract to Tanko Group LLC for $1,650,000, mechanical work to PNM Mechanical Inc. for $8,140,000, and a general‑works contract to Clement Dean Building Company LLC for $34,988,000. Each resolution was moved and adopted separately by voice vote.
Council also approved architectural agreements with Chamblas King Architects LLC for additional construction plans and specifications for the Gadsden Athletic Center ($470,975) and for Pickler Indoor Courts ($58,961). Three Notch Group Inc. was authorized to provide traffic signal modification design and preliminary engineering for an East Megan Boulevard/College Parkway intersection project ($192,320; noted as an ALDOT ARIP2 grant project), and to provide construction engineering and inspection services for the resurfacing of Walnut Street (the city's 20% share recorded as $25,253).
Other items approved under new business included a bid award of $4,189,576 for renovations at Twin Bridges Golf Club (pro shop, deck and related improvements), a final change order for Adams Park drainage improvements that increased the contract to $1,300,280.76, and an agreement with Olympia Engineering for $50,000 to provide civil engineering plans for the Kusa Harbor mixed‑use development. The council also approved a subscription agreement for Toptracer Range (Topgolf USA LLC) at Twin Bridges at $4,400 per month for 60 months.
Clerks recorded votes as in favor by voice with motions carrying for all listed items; the meeting transcript does not include a full roll‑call tally for each item but shows unanimous or carried voice votes on the presented resolutions. Council members noted these awards are part of previously discussed bond and grant plans and that much of the funding was approved earlier under the Grow Gadsden initiative.
