County approves ALDOT funding agreement for Trotman Road and awards $3.67M in road work contracts
Summary
Montgomery County commissioners approved an ALDOT funding agreement for resurfacing Trotman Road (project length 2.57 miles) and awarded Wiregrass Construction Company the low bid for various county road projects; the ALDOT item uses 80% federal funds with a local match.
Montgomery — The Montgomery County Commission on Feb. 17 approved multiple road‑related actions: an ALDOT funding agreement for resurfacing Trotman Road and a separate bid award to Wiregrass Construction Company for a package of county road projects.
Engineering staff presented the ALDOT agreement for Project STPMN‑5126(250) to resurface Trotman Road from Woodley Road to U.S.‑231, a 2.57‑mile segment in the county. County paperwork accompanying the packet shows the project will use an 80/20 federal/county funding split; the memo lists federal funds of $559,221.90 and a county match of $139,805.47. (County paperwork in the full agreement package includes two figures: the engineering memo lists a total of $669,027.37, while the ALDOT project paperwork shows a total of $699,027.37; county staff will reconcile the difference in formal closeout documents.) The board carried the motion unanimously.
Separately, the commissioners approved a bid award to Wiregrass Construction Company, Inc., as the low responsive bidder for “various county road projects” described in the packet. The abstract and contract included in the public packet show a recommended award amount of $3,669,649.25 to Wiregrass. The Commission also approved other road contracts and the standard work authorizations described in the engineering agenda.
Why it matters: roadway resurfacing and the multi‑site road contract represent multi‑hundred‑thousand‑dollar operations paid from a mix of federal, state and local sources. Road work affects maintenance schedules, traffic patterns and local budgets.
What’s next: county engineering will execute the ALDOT funding paperwork and finalize the Wiregrass contract and project schedules; staff will report back on timelines for construction to affected districts and property owners.
