Title
Resolution Appropriating Funds for the purchase of portable bleachers for the Foley Event Center and permission to bid.
Summary
DESCRIPTION OF TOPIC: (who, what, when, where, why, and how much)
Foley Sports Tourism has entered into a relationship with the Sun Belt for the next 10 years for a volleyball championship. Part of the agreement was to provide elevated seating for spectators. These bleachers can also be used in other events including Columbia Southern University, possibly the Baldwin County Board of Education annual meeting as well as other high school and college events. We feel the Council may be able to allocate some the COVID Relief funding to help offset the expense. We are asking to allocate $270,000 for the total cost and will bid some or all components depending on requirements from State. The account number will be 400-5041-5103. The expected lead time is 12 weeks, which is why we are requesting to move forward prior to FY22.
