Published 3:00 am Tuesday, May 24, 2016
The Brundidge City Council voted unanimously in favor of the Galloway Road resurfacing project at its May 18 meeting.
The council’s May 3 meeting had recessed to allow members of the council to attend the League of Municipalities Convention on May 17, the council’s regular meeting date. A quorum would be necessary to vote on council business.
Brundidge City Manager Britt Thomas said the city will purchase all materials necessary for the $224,000 resurfacing of Galloway Road off the state and county bid lists. The council gave its approval for the city to open bids for the construction phase of the project and for the rental of the equipment needed to do the work.
The council accepted the low bid for the Magnolia Boulevard extension. The bid was awarded to Wiregrass Construction of Ariton in the amount of $392,429.29.
The council received a Community Development Block Grant to provide water and sewer and a loop road in the North Industrial Park. That project was awarded to S.A. Graham Company, Inc. in Brundidge in the amount of $270,241.
In other business, the council reviewed the municipal water pollution annual report.
The council also reviewed the city’s financial statement for March.
The Brundidge City Council meets at 4 p.m. the first and third Tuesdays on the month at Brundidge City Hall. The meetings are open to the public.
