Little Flock authorizes WER Architects design contract for city campus; approves UniFirst uniform service
Summary
Council authorized the mayor to enter a contract with WER Architects to design a city campus and new City Hall (fee proposed at 6.5% of construction costs) and approved a UniFirst uniform and laundering contract for the Street Department at $22.60 per week initial charge.
The Little Flock City Council on Dec. 16, 2024 voted unanimously to allow Mayor Jeff Van Sickler to enter into a contract with WER Architects to design a City Campus that includes a new City Hall and a Street Department building. John Langham of WER Architects presented the proposed agreement and said the firm’s fee would be 6.5% of construction costs; the contract had been reviewed by the city attorney and ER assist before the presentation.
Council Member Robert (Rob) Phillips moved to allow the mayor to enter the contract; Chris Cantwell seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous. The minutes do not record additional contract terms or a construction timeline; the 6.5% fee was the only fee figure recorded at the meeting.
Separately, the council approved a contract with UniFirst Corp. to provide logo shirts and laundering for the Street Department. The initial charge was recorded as $22.60 per week; the motion to approve was made by Council Member Debb Formanek and seconded by Sherry Moncrief. The vote was unanimous.
The minutes show the council considered these as part of its new-business agenda and recorded no public comment on either item. Further procurement steps, contract execution dates and budget allocations were not specified in the minutes.
