The City Council approved multiple infrastructure and budget measures on Feb. 12, including funding and contract awards for port and airport projects.
The council awarded the Warehouse 5 floor rehabilitation contract to Barsus Design and Construction LLC of Pensacola as the lowest responsive bidder with a base bid of $389,849.19 and authorized the mayor to execute necessary contracting documents. The action accompanied a supplemental budget resolution to fund the Port of Pensacola project; council approved the measures unanimously.

The administration clarified the project includes approximately $1.5 million in grant funding with a roughly $1.6 million local match; council adopted the supplemental budget resolutions authorizing appropriation of the funds and approved the acceptance by unanimous vote.
Why it matters: The actions allocate grant and port funds for infrastructure repairs and stormwater resilience at key city facilities and move construction projects to procurement and execution stages.
