Minutes approved agenda item number one Brian Garden Authorization for the Mayor to execute Al di MB.

That's 01 utility permit for Mercedes.

Yes, sir.

Um so this for Mercedes Phase 3 project out permit that's ours.

We got a sewer force main in the interstate right away from uh Mercedes to approximately buttermilde.

Uh this project we're replacing uh we have two spots we're replacing one's right there at Exit 79 US 11 University Boulevard Cauchy No Exit and one is at the Dollar Benz Boulevard right there off the offering.

Uh the projects we need this approval from Aldoc, and then we we got bid plans once we get this approval and we get approval from ADM ADOM's uh the project SRF funded, which is ADM administered funding.

Um we can go to bids, which we expect to happen in the spring, expect construction start in the summer, and be finished before the end of the year.

So this portion is simply to get the um the permit the permit.

Yeah, I just yes sir.

So second all in favor.

All right, all right, motion passed.

Right approval item, I mean approval for professional service contract with Thornton Mooseau and Bellman for the intermediate uh water waste uh wastewater treatment program at lift station 39 41.

Yes, sir.

So these are two list stations on that same force main.

Uh 39 is actually at Mercedes, or it's directly at uh on in the right-of-way right there at Mercedes, and then 41 is at that US 11 exit that I just talked about.

But but last week I uh we had uh the uh contract with uh Evoquaw and we uh put a little more fish in that I think you did a good job.

Um and I alluded to this contract coming forth, and so this is that one with the we we did a pilot of test at these two list stations with this vendor.

We liked it, so this is the contract to use them for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Where are they out of right?

Um this uh Birmingham Louisiana.

I think they're they're headquarters of Louisiana.

I know they service our Burman.

Yeah, we they have a um TMV is a contractor for a lot of our chemicals that we use at actually both water plants.

We do not expect the wastewater plant in them all say so they do like a full service chemical type contract for a bunch of different things, but yes, they are headquartered out of um New Orleans but current Louisiana, but they do have an office in Birmingham, or actually in Tuscala.

They didn't they serve as really the Southeast.

That's just I guess I want to add that it's it is a operational budget line item funded through the Wharf outside service.

Okay.

Uh some of them second all in favor.

Item passed item number three approval professional services agreement with Garborough L LC for engineering service related to uh so that'd be the RRF UV improvements.

Uh yes, sir.

So this is um uh the WORF UV improvements project, uh UV is ultraviolet uh treatment is the what final step in the process of treating wastewater before it's discharged.

Basically, you're using light to kill any bacteria.

Um so the that facility is in need of upgrade.

Um so this is the engineering to for that design of that design and bid phase services of that facility.

Um schedule we uh anticipate being complete with the design in November and starting construction around early 27 with uh about an 18-month construction time frame finishing in fall 28.

Funding uh the amount for this request is 785,700.

Uh the funding is through the 2025 B bond.

We have a line item for what was the amount again, right?

785,700.

Um the the project cost estimate right now uh based on our WERF facilities master plan is 9.1 million.

Um so we have budget for that in our WERF plan capacity or excuse the WERF UV improvements uh line item in the 2025 B bond.

So due to lack of reliability, the facility has had multiple violations during wet weather.

Yes, sir.

Tell us how that works.

So the technology is older first generator.

Is that what I said?

First generation.

So I would say generally I would describe it as it's time for an equipment upgrade.

So the the equipment that charges those light bulbs is a better to service the you know our plant for the needed capacity.

And is this upgrade same generation or are we oh no, it's bouncing up two or three?

Yeah, I couldn't tell you how many, but it's the we've been you know, we've been guided by our engineer and looking at different vendors and um so it would it'll be you know the latest technology available.

So what we have now is it just Michaels is grid and every I must be walking down a stupid path here.

So what we have now with our UV system is essentially the first generation of UV that was done, and and the the general the way it works essentially is that you do have these UV bowls that have um it's high frequency light that inactivates bacteria prior to being discharged, and they go and they they sit in the water at a certain angle so that it can have the most light, see as much of the bacteria as possible and deactivate the prior to being discharge, and so it's a real high, it uses a lot of energy, and so as these systems get older, the energy consumption isn't good anymore, and so it doesn't power it up enough like it used to.

The bulbs start going out more than they should, and so you're constantly replacing things on it, and so this is a more um user-friendly, more energy efficient, plus it's newer technology with the angle of the bulbs, the way that the bulbs are shaped.

And I know that sounds a little bit weird, but the way that the bulbs are shaped and all the different um it has more uh access or it sees more, each bulb sees more water and can inactivate or deactivate more bacteria prior to being discharged.

I think that's what you were looking for.

The overviolent inactivation of bacteria and slow process you feel better.

I'll make a motion all in favor.

Okay, motion approved agenda item number four approval right-of-use permit for the university of Alabama's start of the wayfinding signs for the for the entrance of uh UA operation.

So good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

This is to reinstall the wayfinding signs on veterans uh to direct you to the University of Alabama's Arboretum.

Um generally located there, um, you know, out veterans.

Um there are five separate signs that are being reinstalled.

Uh, and all they're doing is just basically the telling you where to get off to go to the arboretum if you're headed east or west on uh on veterans.

Uh these were signs that were there for a long time and they're just replacing.

Yeah, that's a little confusing.

It takes a lot of signs to get you to that place, and you don't know where you're going.

Just uh examples of of what those signs will be.

I'll make a motion.

Second, all the favorite item number five approval to enter into a minor public work contract with the vendors LOC builders LOC to build a wing wall for the amped dinosaur.

I'm sorry, your slide disappeared.

That's okay, no problem.

So, yes, this is what ZL builders and they're located in Alberta.

Um this is for the amount of $3,500 that's going to be constructed inside the dining hall of the Mercedes Men's Amphitheater.

Um, what we're doing here is we're building a wing wall off an existing corner.

We've got a baker's rack that's stored in the dining room that serves the kitchen.

We want to essentially screen that from the patrons inside the dining hall.

So we'll build this two and a half foot wing wall, put shelves inside of it, essentially makes it like a cove area, and then add some additional shelving inside the kitchen itself.

Where's the money, Tim?

This is funded by the river district and repairs and maintenance budget.

I'll make a motion.

Second, all in favor.

Motion passed.

Agenda item number six, approval amendment for professional service contract before the shelter.

Sarah.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

So we have a professional services contract with Photo Shelter to serve as our photo and video storage and organization tool.

We're in the third year of a three-year contract with them.

And this amendment is just to add a couple of additional user seats for our team.

A couple of additional user seats.

Yes.

So people on our team who have a login to this software, they charge per user.

So it's $1,300 for the rest of the year to add two more.

Okay.

Where is that money?

It's in our outside services.

Motion.

Second.

All in favor.

Motion pass.

Thank you.

Agenda item number seven, approval professional service contract.

Tri-tech software assistance for Lucidus maintenance and support.

Good afternoon.

This is the uh three-year maintenance renewal for uh our enterprise asset management uh package.

Basically, every asset that the city has from a water valve to uh a light at the airport is kept track in the system, and then the work orders associated with the maintenance and working on those.

Uh this is a budgeted and expected expense, and this is year one, 48,000 eight oh seven fifty-four, year two, fifty-one two forty-seven ninety-two, and year three, fifty-three eight ten thirty-one.

So it's no no cost, Jack.

Sir's no cost, right?

But that's no cost amendment.

Oh, that's the other one.

There are more there are two number eight pages you all as this contract basically is a renewal, so it's is it the same amount?

Did it go up?

Yes, same amount as last time.

Okay, uh roughly a five percent per year.

Okay, good.

I make a motion.

Second, all in favor.

Motion passed, Jason, yes, sir.

Ms.

Rosby, here's your note.

Here's your no cost, yes, sir.

This is where I'll solve the no cost of some year and near this is a contract that uh that was brought before you in I believe September of last year when we were working to implement some of the services.

It was noticed that uh some check boxes were not checked in the contract that that we were paying for.

This is just to correct that in the contract.

There's no additional dollars associated with this, just kind of general housekeeping.

Uh so some check boxes were not checked that we were paying for, yes, or we received them.

Yes, they they have already given them uh to us.

They just pointed it out that they noticed it during the implementation process and okay and uh wanted to just fix it.

Make a motion.

Second, all in favor, aye motion pass.

Thank you.

Any more questions or comments?
