Foley council approves lead service construction contract, hires wetland delineation for industrial park

The Foley City Council on May 5 approved a construction services contract for the 2026 lead service replacement project and authorized wetland delineation services for parcels in the city industrial park.

Engineer Jared Griffith told the council the SCH2026 water service replacement construction services agreement mirrors a recent Southside contract and that the work is "100% eligible for our PFA funds." Griffith said a June startup is ideal but contingent on certification from the state Department of Health. The council moved to approve the contract and carried the motion by voice vote; the transcript does not record mover/second names or a roll-call tally.

Griffith also described options for wetland delineation at the industrial park on Glenn Street. He said delineation boundaries affect future replatting decisions and recommended council decide which parcels to include before field work begins. The council approved SEH's wetland delineation services by motion and voice vote; mover/second and recorded roll-call names are not specified in the transcript.

As part of the same engineering update, Griffith provided a Northside project progress report: adjustments to water service valves and yard grading are under way, concrete removal and replacement will occur this week and next, tree planting and hydroseeding are planned later this month, and the final paving lift is expected in early June. He said the county's mill-and-overlay work is scheduled to align with the city's final lift to 75th Street.

The contracts and approvals were recorded as passed by voice vote; the transcript does not include explicit mover/second attributions or individual vote names.
