A Public Hearing was held as advertised on the request for a Package Store
License by Walmart, Inc. d/b/a Walmart Liquor Box #4333, 10044 County Road 48,
Fairhope, Alabama. The public hearing was opened at 6:35 p.m. No one present
opposed the proposed Package Store License. The public hearing closed at 6:35 p.m.
Councilmember Booth moved to approve the issuance of the license.
Seconded by Councilmember Robinson, motion passed unanimously by voice vote.
Councilmember Burrell moved for final adoption of Ordinance No. 1860, an
ordinance to amend Chapter 4 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Fairhope,
Alabama to add Licensing of Consumable Hemp Products in the Corporate Limits
and Police Jurisdiction of the City of Fairhope. (Introduced at the March 9, 2026 City
Council Meeting) The motion was seconded by Councilmember Boothe.
Councilmember Gammon said he spoke at length at the last meeting regarding this
Ordinance. "Everything about it is murky to say the best, and there's documented
downsides," Gammon said. "I think as a City Council, we are tasked with promoting
the wellness and the good of the Community, and in my opinion, when I try to vote,
what I try to vote on, I think will advance the Community, is this a good thing for the
Community overall or a negative overall, and that is what influences me." He said
there is a rise in injuries and a rise in ER visits. He commented hemp is pot; and said
not here try it somewhere else.
Councilmember Burrell commented he had more contacts for the hemp than against.
He said it is not illegal and has been sold before now. Councilmember Burrell said we
approved alcohol on the agenda; and this is regulated by the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board (“ABC”). Councilmember Burrell acknowledged there may be health
concerns, but these products are no worse than alcohol products already widely
available as Council continues to approve liquor licenses. He also noted how the
products in question are more of a CBD product with only some THC, though he
could not argue that they are completely devoid of THC.
He said "there is three items on tonight's agenda that's promoting the sale of alcohol,
which we know contributes to thousands of deaths on the road every year, yet we
approve it and we'll probably approve those. We just approved the Walmart (liquor
license), so I find it hard to say no to this item that's being regulated by the State of
Alabama and the State ABC Board." Councilmember Burrell asked the City Attorney
whether or not .3% of hemp is legal.
City Attorney McDowell explained and answered Councilmember Burrell’s question.

23 March 2026
Councilmember Robinson said he sees where both Councilmembers Burrell and
Gammon are coming from, adding he thinks this is tougher than what it seems on the
surface. He said "I do feel there is some level of hypocrisy with us approving liquor
licenses, but at the same time, regulating this in some way. That is kind of what I
wrestle with this particular ordinance. I'm not sure there is enough financial benefit
for the City to justify doing something new that we don't truly know what the
outcome is going to be, whether it's positive or negative, but I also don't know if we
understand the negatives as much as the hypotheticals we may be presented with."
Councilmember Booth said she felt the same way with Councilmember Robinson's
evaluation, while Council President Conyers said he has heard more from people in
favor of the ordinance than he has from people against it, though he is more on the
fence, saying he is not a strong proponent one way or the other.
Mayor Sullivan said she has no opinion either way but noted there are other
Municipalities close to Fairhope that have approved their own ordinances on hemp
products. Mayor Sullivan said, “I do feel like they are going to buy it from other
places and bring it in, so we are going to end up dealing with the issues anyway if
they are driving or impaired. I do think our ordinance gives us a little bit of teeth if
they are buying in our Community and we know if there is an establishment that is
violating the policy and ABC has cited them, then it gives us the right to pull their
business license.” After further discussion, motion for final adoption passed by the
following voice votes: AYE – Burrell, Conyers, and Booth. NAY – Gammon and
Robinson.
Councilmember Gammon moved for final adoption of Ordinance No. 1861,
an ordinance granting a Non-Exclusive Franchise to Fiber Utility Network Inc. d/b/a
Alabama Fiber Network, its successors, and assigns ("Franchisee") for the purpose of
Constructing and Maintaining a Fiber-Optic Infrastructure Network within the Public
Rights-of-Way within the City of Fairhope, Alabama. (Introduced at the March 9,
2026 City Council Meeting) Seconded by Councilmember Burrell, motion for final
adoption passed by the following voice votes: AYE – Burrell, Gammon, Conyers,
Robinson, and Booth. NAY - None.
Councilmember Burrell moved for final adoption of Ordinance No. 1862, an
ordinance granting a Non-Exclusive Franchise to Highstream Fiber Inc., its
successors, and assigns ("Franchisee") for the purpose of Constructing and
Maintaining a Fiber-Optic Infrastructure Network within the Public Rights-of-Way
within the City of Fairhope, Alabama. (Introduced at the March 9, 2026 City Council
Meeting) Seconded by Councilmember Gammon, motion for final adoption passed by

appearance of a Historic Property or designated building, structure, or site within
a Historic District which would require the issuance of a building permit, the

5. EASEMENT FEES
Grantee hereby agrees to pay to Grantor an annual easement fee (hereinafter “Easement
Fee”). The amount of the Easement Fee due from Grantee shall be calculated and adjusted annually
based upon the then applicable greater amount for that year of the following:
A. Minimum Fee of $896.00 (effective 3/1/2026 through 2/28/2027) as
hereafter revised annually on March 1st based upon fluctuations of the Consumer
Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), South Urban, All Items, as
published by U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (hereinafter
CPI-U); or

preempted area (Zone 2 rate effective 3/1/2026 through 2/28/2027) as identified on
Exhibit A with such rate being hereinafter revised annually based upon CPI-U as
provided in subsection (A) above.
The calculated greater amount based on 5B is $8,021.75 and will be used by
Grantor to determine the initial Easement Fee.
The initial Easement Fee due from Grantee shall be a prorated Preempted Area Fee
calculated by Grantor based upon the Effective Date of the Easement through the last day of

responsibility of Grantee to contact Grantor for the updated annual Easement Fee amount due and
submit to Grantor timely payment for the annual Easement Fee due and payable each year without
regard to Grantee’s receipt of such updated annual Easement Fee information.

Re: Letter Agreement for Professional Services for
City of Fairhope SS4A Implementation Grant
Dear Mr. Thomas:
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (“Kimley-Horn” or “Consultant”) submits this Letter Agreement
(“Agreement”) to City of Fairhope (“Client”) for providing SS4A Implementation Grant application services
(“Project”).
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) is expected to release a Notice of Funding
Opportunity (NOFO) for the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant program in late March or early
April 2026. As in past years, it is anticipated there will be two buckets of funding, one for Planning &
Demonstration and one for Implementation Grants.
The City of Fairhope desires to submit an SS4A Implementation Grant application focused on advancing
priority projects identified in the City’s Safety Action Plan (SAP). The City seeks Kimley -Horn’s assistance
primarily with the development of detailed, implementation-ready project concepts for inclusion in the
application.
Kimley-Horn will support the City by developing conceptual designs that are sufficiently defined to advance
into subsequent design phases, preparing planning-level construction cost estimates, and creating graphics
and formatted materials to present the selected projects in a cohesive and professional application
package. Kimley-Horn will also assist the City by reviewing and providing comments on the grant narrative
prepared by the City to ensure alignment with program requirements and consistency with the developed
project concepts.
The City will remain responsible for drafting the grant narrative, completing all standard forms, preparing
required application maps, and entering information into ValidEval.
Since the FY 2026 NOFO has not yet been released, this scope of services is based on the assumption
that the requirements will be generally consistent with those of FY 2025. If significant changes are
implemented by USDOT that materially affect the level of effort described herein, such changes will
constitute additional services.
TASK 1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT
• Kimley-Horn will schedule two, one-hour status calls per month with the City’s project manager, up to
Page 100 of 382

attendees will discuss the overall scope, schedule, and key milestones.
TASK 2: SS4A IMPLEMENTATION GRANT SUPPORT & PROJECT

Implementation Grant application.
• Coordinate with the City to confirm project limits, intent, assumptions, and implementation
considerations.
Conceptual Project Development
• Develop conceptual drawings for the selected project(s) at a level sufficient to demonstrate
readiness to advance into final design and construction.
• Concepts may include, as applicable, typical sections, plan-view layouts, conceptual intersection
treatments, and/or other graphics necessary to clearly convey the proposed improvements.
• Concepts will be developed to support grant evaluation and cost estimating purposes and are not
intended to represent final engineering design.
Construction Cost Estimates
• Prepare planning-level construction cost estimates for each selected project concept, suitable for
inclusion in the grant application budget.
• Cost estimates will be based on the developed concepts and professional judgment and will include
appropriate assumptions and contingencies consistent with grant application needs.
Narrative Review & Technical Support
• Review the draft SS4A Implementation Grant narrative prepared by the City.
• Provide written comments and technical input to improve clarity, consistency, and alignment with
SS4A program requirements and the developed project concepts.
• Kimley-Horn will not be responsible for drafting the full narrative text.
Graphics, Formatting, and Application Packaging
• Develop supporting graphics for inclusion in the application narrative and appendices, based on
the conceptual project designs.
• Assemble application materials into a cohesive, professionally formatted document using Adobe
InDesign or a similar platform, incorporating City-provided narrative text, forms, and maps.

SECTION A – BASIC INFORMATION
A.1 Statement of Purpose
The Natural Gas Distribution Infrastructure Safety and Modernization (NGDISM) Grant
Program’s eligible entities are municipality- or community-owned utilities, not including for-
profit entities, seeking assistance in repairing, rehabilitating, or replacing high-risk, leak-prone
natural gas distribution infrastructure, or in acquiring equipment to reduce incidents and fatalities
and avoid economic losses. The NGDISM Grant Program improves public safety and helps to
unleash American energy in alignment with Executive Order 14154, “Unleashing American
Energy”.
A.2 Statute and Program Authority
Division J of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) (Pub. L. 117-58) provides
funding for the NGDISM Grant Program.
A.3 Background
The IIJA appropriates $200 million per year in grant funding, with a total of $1 billion in grant
funding over five years, to improve the safety of high-risk, actively leaking, or leak-prone natural
gas distribution infrastructure. The legislation also authorizes PHMSA to use up to two percent
for each fiscal year for administrative expenses. PHMSA will make $98 million in Fiscal Year
2026 funding available under this NOFO.
A.4 Program Goals and Objectives
The goals of the NGDISM Grant Program are to:
1. Reduce the risk of incidents and avoid economic losses by replacing aging, leaking,
and leak-prone municipal- and community-owned natural gas distribution
infrastructure.
2. Prioritize projects that deliver the greatest safety benefits to communities most in need,
particularly those vulnerable to pipeline-related hazards.
SECTION B – ELIGIBILITY
B.1 Eligible Applicants and Activities
The FY 2026 NGDISM Grant Program NOFO is open to entities who operate a natural gas
distribution system and include:
1. City, township, or county governments
2. Municipal utilities (owned by a local government)
3. Community-owned utilities (owned by the customers they serve)
Page 178 of 382
5
4. Federally recognized Tribal governments
For-profit entities, or any pipeline assets owned by a for-profit entity, are not eligible for
NGDISM grant funding.
NGDISM funds support efforts to repair, rehabilitate, or replace existing pipeline distribution
infrastructure. Installing or extending new natural gas capabilities is not an eligible use of funds.
For example, a project that proposes to install or extend new pipe for the purposes of providing
services to new customers is not eligible.
Examples of eligible grant projects:
• Construction projects that involve repairing, rehabilitating, or replacing leak prone
natural gas pipeline distribution infrastructure. This includes projects related to main
lines, service lines, and related components.
• Acquisition of equipment to reduce incidents and fatalities, or to avoid economic losses.
This includes projects involving the acquisition of leak detection and line locating
equipment.
Examples of ineligible grant projects:
• Projects involving transmission lines, including proposals to lower a transmission line to
meet the existing code requirements.
• Projects or construction components that are temporary in nature.
• Projects that will require a PHMSA special permit or approval via PHMSA waiver.
• Projects that extend gas services to areas previously not served.
• Electrification.
• Removal of propane tanks and installing a natural gas piping system.
• Standalone equipment-only projects for construction equipment purchases (e.g.,
backhoes, excavators). Such expenses must be part of a construction project budget, not
submitted independently.
B.2 Cost Sharing or Matching
There are no cost-sharing or matching requirements in the NGDISM Grant Program.
B.3 Funding Restrictions
The following costs are not eligible for reimbursement under the FY 2026 NGDISM Grant Program:
Page 179 of 382

1. Pre-construction costs incurred prior to the effective date of the award for which PHMSA
has not extended pre-construction authority in writing.
2. Entertainment, alcohol, or morale costs.
3. Expenses claimed or reimbursed by another program.
4. Excessive costs for general office supplies, equipment, computer software, printing, and
copying.
5. Expenses that supplant existing operational funds.
6. Any costs disallowed or stated as ineligible in 2 CFR Part 200.
7. Restrictions on Use of Funds for Lobbying, Support of Litigation, or Direct Advocacy.
The recipient and its contractors may not conduct political lobbying, as defined in the
statutes, regulations, and 2 CFR § 200.450 “Lobbying,” within the federally supported
project. The recipient and its contractors may not use Federal funds for lobbying
specifically to obtain grants and cooperative agreements. The recipient and its contractors
must comply with 49 CFR Part 20, U.S. DOT “New Restrictions on Lobbying.”
SECTION C – PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
C.1 Funding
Congress appropriated $1 billion over five years to implement and administer the NGDISM
Grant Program, with $200 million appropriated annually, of which up to two percent of the
annual appropriations may be used for PHMSA’s administrative costs. PHMSA will make
available up to $98 million utilizing FY 2026 funding for NGDISM grants under this NOFO.
Any selections and awards under this NOFO are subject to the availability of appropriated
NGDISM funds.
There is no award minimum amount.
Applicants may submit applications with multiple projects. PHMSA anticipates making multiple
awards with the available funding. Due to limited funding and the competitive nature of this
program, PHMSA may not be able to award grants to all eligible applications even if they score
highly during the evaluation. PHMSA strongly encourages applicants to propose projects that
have operational independence or a component of such a project.
Award(s) to a single entity may not be more than 12.5 percent of the total available funds for the
grant program ($1 billion). Therefore, during this five-year grant program, a single entity cannot
receive more than $125 million in NGDISM funding.
The IIJA makes FY 2026 NGDISM grant funds available for obligation through September 30,
2036. At the time project selections are announced, PHMSA may extend pre-construction
authority for the selected projects. Unless authorized by PHMSA in writing, costs incurred prior
Page 180 of 382
7
to award of grant funding under this NOFO via a signed grant agreement (“pre-construction
costs”) are ineligible for reimbursement.2
C.2 Period of Performance
The initial period of performance is up to 60 months. PHMSA may grant performance period
extensions on a case-by-case basis.
C.3 Type of Award
PHMSA will make discretionary awards via grant agreements for projects selected under this
NOFO. NGDISM award disbursements to recipients will be for eligible costs incurred on a
reimbursable basis. Consistent with 2 CFR Part 200, recipients must certify that their
expenditures are allowable, allocable, reasonable, and necessary to the approved project(s)
before requesting reimbursement.

F.2 Review Process
The Department intends to apply principles from DOT Order 2100.7, “Ensuring Reliance Upon
Sound Economic Analysis in DOT’s Policies, Programs and Activities”, and DOT Order 2100.9,
“Ensuring Nondiscrimination and Equal Opportunity in Department of Transportation Policies,
Programs, and Activities” when evaluating applications and making award selections. To the
maximum extent permitted by law, PHMSA will prioritize projects that align with the principles
outlined in DOT Orders 2100.7 and 2100.9.
Review of the applications will be based on the administrative, technical, and programmatic
criteria, and the goals and priorities of the DOT. During the administrative review, PHMSA will
review each application to verify eligibility and to ensure it includes all the required elements to
qualify for the award. The technical and programmatic reviews will assess the project’s proposed
scope of work and the extent to which each project meets the established merit criteria.
Additional Priorities and Selection Considerations
After completing the merit review, among projects of similar merit, PHMSA may prioritize
projects according to the following key Administration and DOT objectives:
Page 194 of 382
21
Safety: PHMSA will assess the project’s ability to commit to advancing safe and efficient
transportation. Applicants must address how their project provides substantial safety
benefits. Projects that have the potential to provide the greatest safety benefits, such as those
which seek to address active leaks, may be prioritized.
Disadvantaged Rural and Urban Communities: PHMSA will assess the project’s ability
to benefit disadvantaged rural and urban communities.
Sound Economic Analysis: PHMSA will prioritize projects that advance the goals of the
DOT Order, “Ensuring Reliance Upon Sound Economic Analysis in DOT Policies,
Programs, and Activities” during the review and selection process.
PHMSA will prioritize projects that align with the Administration's focus on the American
family and ensuring reliable delivery of goods and services for American families.
Workforce Development, Job Quality, and Wealth Creation: The Department will assess
whether and how the project will include union participation or project labor agreements,
which promote cost-effectiveness and open competition.
Geographic Diversity: When selecting awardees, PHMSA may consider the geographic
diversity of projects.
Ratings Guidelines
Based on the results from each review, each application will receive an overall rating either as:
Highly Recommended: The application demonstrates the NOFO requirements are very
well understood, and that the approach likely results in high-quality performance. The
application clearly addresses and exceeds requirements with no weaknesses. The
application contains outstanding features that meet or exceed on multiple dimensions the
expectations of the government. The application scope aligns extremely well with DOT
objectives and priorities. The risk of poor performance is very low.
Recommended: The application demonstrates that the NOFO requirements are
understood, and that the approach likely result in satisfactory performance. The
application addresses and meets requirements with some minor but correctable
weaknesses. The application demonstrates requisite experience, qualifications, and
performance capabilities. The application scope aligns with DOT objectives and
priorities. The risk of poor performance is low.
Acceptable: The application demonstrates that the NOFO requirements are mostly
understood, and that the approach likely result in satisfactory performance for part of the
requirements. The application addresses some of the requirements with some weaknesses.
The application demonstrates some experience, qualifications, and performance
capabilities. The application partially aligns with DOT objectives and priorities. The risk
of poor performance is moderate.
Page 195 of 382
22
Not Acceptable: The application does not meet the NOFO requirements. The application
fails to address multiple requirements. The applicant may be ineligible to apply for the
grant. The application could not satisfy critical requirements without a major revision or
rewrite of the application or a major redirection effort. The application scope does not
align with DOT objectives and priorities. The risk of poor performance is high.
Selection Process
PHMSA will recommend applications for award based on the final overall rating as described
above. Final award recommendations will be made by the PHMSAPHMSA Administrator after
taking into consideration the administrative, technical, and programmatic evaluations, and how
well the applications address PHMSA’s and DOT’s safety priorities. The Secretary will make
final award selection decisions.
F.3 SAM.gov Review
Prior to making a Federal award with a total amount of the Federal share greater than the
simplified acquisition threshold, PHMSA is required to review and consider any information
about the applicant that is in the designated integrity and performance system accessible through
the SAM.gov Responsibility/Qualification information (formerly called Federal Awardee
Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS)) (see 41 U.S.C. § 2313). An applicant,
at its option, may review the Responsibility/Qualification information through SAM.gov and
comment on any information about itself that a Federal-awarding agency previously entered and
is currently in the Responsibility/Qualification information. PHMSA will consider any
comments by the applicant, in addition to the other Responsibility/Qualification information, in
making a judgment about the applicant’s integrity, business ethics, and record of performance
under Federal awards when completing the review of risk posed by applicants as described in 2
CFR § 200.206.
F.4 Anticipated Announcement and Federal Award Dates
Applicants chosen for funding will receive electronic notification of the Federal award. Upon
notification, the applicant’s authorized representative/official must sign and return the award
within the timeframe prescribed by PHMSA.
SECTION G –AWARD NOTICES
G.1 Federal Award Notices
PHMSA’s grant awarding official will award grants to responsible and eligible applicants, at its
discretion, whose applications are judged meritorious under the procedures set forth in this

Executive Order 14173, Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring
Merit-Based Opportunity, the recipient agrees that its compliance in all
respects with all applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws is material to
the government’s payment decisions for purposes of section 3729(b)(4) of
title 31, United States Code.
b. Except where prohibited by court order, pursuant to Section 3(b)(iv)(B) of
Executive Order 14173, Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring
Merit-Based Opportunity, with respect to any application and awarded
project under this NOFO, the recipient certifies that it does not operate any
programs promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives that
violate any applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws.
6. Protection of Confidential Business Information. All information submitted as
part of or in support of any application shall use publicly available data or data
that can be made public, and methodologies that are accepted by industry practice
and standards, to the extent possible.
If the applicant submits information that the applicant considers to be a trade
secret or confidential commercial or financial information, the applicant must
provide that information in a separate document, which the applicant may cross-
reference from the application narrative or other portions of the application.
For the separate document containing confidential information, the applicant
must:
1. State on the cover of that document that it “Contains Confidential
Business Information” (CBI).
2. Mark each page that contains confidential information with “CBI.”
Page 199 of 382
26
3. Highlight or otherwise denote the confidential content on each page.
4. At the end of the document, explain how disclosure of the confidential
information would cause substantial competitive harm.
DOT will protect confidential information complying with these requirements to
the extent required under applicable law. If DOT receives a FOIA request for the
information that the applicant has marked in accordance with this section, or that
DOT has some other reason to believe may contain confidential commercial
information, DOT will follow the procedures described in its FOIA regulations at
49 CFR § 7.29.
7. Uninterrupted Service Delivery Provisions in Federal Financial Assistance

facilities that are not compliant with ADA standards. DOT’s and the applicable
Operating Administrations’ Office of Civil Rights may work with awarded grant
recipients to ensure full compliance with Federal civil rights requirements.
9. Prohibited Enforcement: To the extent a court order bars the implementation or
enforcement of one or more of the preceding provisions with respect to a
particular applicant or recipient, the Department will not implement or enforce the
relevant provision(s) against that applicant or recipient for as long as the court
order remains in place.

DEFINITIONS
Areas of Persistent Poverty (APP)3 – For purposes of this NOFO, APP encompasses
disadvantaged communities and is defined as:
• Any county that has consistently had greater than or equal to 20 percent of the population
living in poverty as measured by the 1990 and 2000 decennial census and the most recent
annual Small Area Income Poverty Estimates as estimated by the Bureau of the census.
• Any census tract with a poverty rate of at least 20 percent as measured by the 2014–2018
five-year data series available from the American Community Survey of the Bureau of
the Census.
• Any territory or possession of the United States.
Distribution Integrity Management Plan (DIMP) - A documented and implemented risk-
based plan that enables gas distribution pipeline operators to identify threats, evaluate risks, and
implement measures to ensure the safe and reliable operation of their distribution system. The
DIMP is required by PHMSA for operators of natural gas distribution pipelines.
Gas Distribution Annual Report (GDAR) – A mandatory report submitted annually to
PHMSA by operators of natural gas distribution systems. The report captures detailed
information about an operator’s natural gas distribution system including mileage, material
types, incident data, leak repairs etc. for the preceding calendar year.
Governmentwide Debarment and Suspension (Non-procurement) – Executive departments
and agencies shall participate in a government-wide system for non-procurement debarment and
suspension. In this context, PHMSA asks recipients to review the “list of parties excluded from
Federal procurement or non-procurement programs” located on the SAM website before entering
a sub-award or procurement contract. No sub-award or procurement contract may be issued to an
entity or person identified on the “list of parties excluded from Federal procurement or non-
procurement programs.” 2 CFR Part 1200 - “Non-procurement Suspension and Debarment” is
incorporated by reference into this notification.
3 The NGDISM grant program statute establishes award selection criteria, including the potential for a project to
benefit disadvantaged rural and urban communities. Departmental mapping tools were used for the identification of
these communities in previous NOFOs; those tools have been retired. The Area of Persistent Poverty (APP)
framework will be used for the identification of these communities in this NOFO. Area of Persistent Poverty is
defined in Section 6702(a)(1) of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Public Law 117-58).
Page 202 of 382
29
Pipe Prone to Leakage – Pipelines that are known to leak based on the material (including cast
iron, unprotected steel, wrought iron, and historic plastics with known issues).
Pipeline – From 49 CFR § 192.3, pipeline means all parts of those physical facilities through
which gas moves in transportation, including pipe, valves, and other appurtenance attached to
pipe, compressor units, metering stations, regulator stations, delivery stations, holders, and
fabricated assemblies.
Pipeline Distribution System – A network of pipelines and associated components used to
deliver natural gas from high-pressure transmission lines to lower pressure users, such as homes
and businesses.

4. DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION
LOCATION:
This pipeline replacement project is located within the city of Fairhope, County of Baldwin, Alabama.
SCOPE:
The selected phases of this project included in the grant request will replace 27.8 miles of leak prone
cast iron and cathodically unprotected steel gas main within city right-of-way along with 1,441 aging
gas service lines. These mains are within older neighborhoods with legacy infrastructure much of which
needs refurbishment. The pipeline facilities are identified in the City’s DIMP as high-risk deteriorating
CI pipe with confirmed corrosion leaks. Corrosion is listed as the #1 threat to the Fairhope gas system.
The city of Fairhope monitors their leaks by contracting with a leak survey company. The 2022 leak
survey covered approximately 423.22 miles of main, 13,345 meters, 41 regulator stations and 703 farm
taps. There were indications of 12 underground leaks and 172 confirmed above ground leaks detected
during this survey. The above ground leaks were detected at various meter loops in the system. There
were five leaks linked to corrosion failure with two of those being hazardous leaks according to the city’s
2023 PHMSA annual report. In 2022 there were nine leaks noted due to corrosion failure with four of
those being hazardous leaks as reported in the 2022 PHMSA Annual Report. In the 2021 PHMSA
Annual Report, there were 15 leaks linked to corrosion failure with one being a hazardous leak.
Phases 1 and 2 of the project are either nearly ready for construction or are mostly or fully complete.
Like the proposed upcoming phases, they are replacing cast iron and cathodically unprotected steel gas
mains and service lines. Phases 3, 4, and 5 of the project will be replacing 22.4 miles of cast iron and
Page 216 of 382
PHMSA NGDISM PROJECT NARRATIVE – 2024
City of Fairhope
20 June 2024
12
cathodically unprotected steel pipelines and approximately 680 associated service lines. Phase 6 will be
replacing 5.4 miles of cathodically unprotected steel pipelines and approximately 761 associated service
lines.
Since this work will be within fully developed residential areas, all these mains and service lines will be
installed using trenchless technologies such as horizontal directional drilling. By investing in this project,
the City of Fairhope is taking proactive steps to enhance the safety and security of our residents.
Gas mains within the area of the replacement have been resized to optimize gas flow through the district
regulator stations and to meet the existing demand for gas in the area. Gas main sizes have been
standardized to 2” and 4”. Overall, the miles of gas mains of 3” and larger has decreased, and the miles
of mains 2” and smaller has increased. Oddly sized mains of 3/4", 1-1/4”, 1-1/2”, 2-1/4”, and 3” will be
replaced with 2” and 4” as appropriate. While there will be instances where a gas main will increase in
size, this approach will save money by simplifying purchasing and reducing the range of fittings in
inventory both during construction and for all future maintenance.
PRIORITIZATION:
The first project encompasses phases 3, 4, & 5, which will replace the remaining cast-iron pipe and
associated service lines in the City of Fairhope’s natural gas system. The replacement of these cast iron
mains is mandated by the Alabama Public Service Commission. These are the highest risk facilities in
the city’s gas system. These phases also include cathodically unprotected steel pipelines and associated
service lines which pose a secondary risk, relative to cast iron.
The second project encompasses phase 6 which will replace most of the city’s remaining cathodically
unprotected steel pipe and associated service lines.
5. PROJECTED OUTPUTS AND OBJECTIVES
The CI replacement project defined above and included in this grant application is identified in the
City’s DIMP as high-risk deteriorating pipe, prone to leaking through corrosion, earth movement, and
third-party damage. The project goals and objectives are to replace the City’s remaining CI piping to
improve overall public safety and operational reliability, thereby reducing maintenance costs and
negative effects on rates to the community, along with reducing future methane emission due to
leakage. Overall, the replacement of aging gas mains and service lines will have numerous benefits for
the community, including enhanced safety, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, job creation, and
improved reliability of the gas distribution system. The project will contribute to the long-term
sustainability and vitality of the community, ensuring a safe and reliable source of natural gas for
residents and businesses.
These projects will benefit the local community by creating good paying construction jobs,
construction support jobs, and produce hundreds of thousands of dollars in construction contractors per
diem (an estimated $351,624 based on GSA rate and scheduled performance period) spent locally.
The above estimate accounts for lodging, food, and beverage for a minimum of 28 construction
personnel and two inspectors in the project area for approximately 161 weeks to complete this project
contributing to the economy of the city.

Criteria 1: Quantity of Pipeline Affected
Cast Iron deterioration and corrosion are listed as our main risk in our DIMP. Approximately 27.8
miles of various pipe sizes consisting of 3/4-inch up to 4-inch Cast Iron (CI) and cathodically
unprotected Steel pipe to be replaced with 2-inch and 4-inch PE plastic pipe, along with 1,441 services.
Successful completion of this project will help reduce the risks associated with old materials by
replacing them with safer polyethylene materials. New materials will also reduce methane emissions.
Criteria 2: Cost of Equipment
The city does not intend to have any equipment purchases with the grant funds, if awarded.
Criteria 3: Workforce Development, Job Quality, and Wealth Creation:
It is the desire of the city that jobs created though this funded project pay above-average labor rates as
compared to similar jobs within the area/locale. Based on the Economic Policy Institute, calculation
standards for the utility industry the potential job creation is as follows: 13.4 direct jobs, 60.1 supplier
jobs, and 78.8 induced jobs, for a total of 138.8 indirect jobs created by these projects. The City will
provide Diverse Suppliers, to include subcontractors, vendors, and suppliers, with an equal opportunity
to participate in the procurement process. Diverse Suppliers, in accordance with SBA guidelines,
include qualifying small businesses with subtypes such as veteran-owned, disadvantaged business, etc.
The city believes that promoting diversity is a strength. To this end, we will actively and routinely
source qualified Diverse Suppliers that can provide competitively priced, high-quality products and
services to meet the needs of our project.
The City will include labor union or trade union for construction services in the bid process. Due to the
nature of union labor work, workers typically receive higher pay and better benefits. These benefits of
union labor or trade labor usually allow for more disposable income and a positive work/life balance,
thereby contributing to the health of local economies through increased local business patronage.
Contract Employees Economic Impact to Community has been estimated to be $351,624.00 for two
construction inspectors and 28 construction personnel. Per diem is based on the current GSA rate for
six days per week. Additional cost for travel and per diem per inspector, project manager or
construction crew, will be based on the same GSA published rates.
Criteria 4: Potential for Benefiting Disadvantaged Communities
Replacement of the high-risk leaking and leak prone pipelines will improve public safety, prevent
continued increasing leaks, and reduce methane emission of leaking pipelines. The project goals
include reducing negative impacts of climate change and pollution on this ageing community.
Criteria 5: Economic Impact
The project will help stimulate economic growth by creating jobs, increasing access to reliable natural
gas service, and potentially attracting new businesses to the area.
Criteria 6: Climate Change and Sustainability:
Page 218 of 382
PHMSA NGDISM PROJECT NARRATIVE – 2024
City of Fairhope
20 June 2024
14
The City’s goals and objectives include that all project outcomes will protect our environment and
reduce climate impacts by remediating aged and failing pipelines and services prone to leakage. The
city proposes to utilize a cross-compression process to reduce methane emissions by capturing the
natural gas/methane during the retirement of the old pipelines where possible. This will potentially
eliminate releasing approximately 5,700 SCF of methane. The example below demonstrates the
potential benefits of this process.
Depressurize a 11,500 feet section of 6-inch CI pipeline at an operating pressure of 25 PSIG and
recycle into a pressurized segment at 35 PSIG. Ending cross-compression at 0 PSIG:
• Cross compression time of approximately 45 minutes
• Total accumulated methane saved: 5,700 SCF.
• Emissions Factor: 99.9% methane evacuated and recycled.
• Emissions Factor: Less Diesel Consumption = Net pounds of CO2e saved, or 98.7% overall
emissions net savings
6. PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION AND MANAGEMENT
It will be the responsibility of the city, engineer, project manager, and inspector to ensure all engineering
and construction standards are followed. This includes but is not limited to: O&M Manuals, Construction
Standard Manuals, current DIMP, and Engineering IFC Drawings provided. All document s are strictly
adherent to Title 49 CFR 192. It is anticipated that adherence to the standards outlined by these documents
will ensure a successful outcome upon project completion. Weekly Reports will be created to include
current data of safety, scope, schedule, and budget.
The city maintains a DIMP using the APGA SHRIMP, along with the annual DOT reports, annual leak
surveys, work orders, and inventory to comply with Title 49 CFR 192 safety standards. A successful
construction bidder (Contractor) will be required to provide references of like work, OQ qualifications, PE
Fusion certifications, and welding certifications prior to work commencing. These will be reviewed for
accuracy and ensure the required qualifications are held. The contractor will be furnished a copy of the
City’s O&M procedures that will cover installation of pipe, fusion procedures, welding procedures, visual
inspection procedures, etc. to ensure the project is installed in accordance with Title 49 CFR 192.
The city will have third-party inspectors onsite throughout the project monitoring the contractor and
providing deliverables such as material test reports, pipe joining reports, daily construction reports
including quantities, geospatially correct installation locations, etc. The City’s inspector will conduct
random site visits to ensure installation, inspection, traffic control, and other project controls are being
conducted to our satisfaction.
7. STATEMENT CERTIFYING COMPLIANCE WITH EQUITY
REQUIREMENT
It is the intention of the City to resolve ongoing issues with aging infrastructure while accomplishing other
goals addressed in this program. Those goals include providing a clear and positive benefit to the

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
Neel-Schaffer, Inc Page 1 of 4 Rev. 12-12-2023
1. Relationship between Consultant and Client. Neel-Schaffer, Inc. (“Consultant”) shall serve as the Client's
professional consultant in those phases of the Project to which this Agreement applies. The relationship is that of a
buyer and seller of professional services and it is understood that the parties have not entered into any joint venture or
partnership with the other. Consultant shall not be considered to be the agent or fiduciary of the Client.
2. Responsibility of Consultant. Consultant will perform services under this Agreement in a manner consistent with that
standard of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the same profession currently practicing in the same
locality under similar conditions (the “Standard of Care”). No other representation, warranty or guarantee, express or
implied, is included or intended in this Agreement or in any report, opinion, document, or otherwise.
3. Responsibility of the Client. Client shall provide all information and criteria as to its requirements for the Project,
including budgetary limitations. Consultant shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy and completeness of any and all
information provided by Client. If applicable to the scope of work, Client shall arrange for Consultant to enter upon
public and private property and obtain all necessary approvals required from all governmental authorities having
jurisdiction over the Project. Client shall provide reasonable notice to Consultant whenever Client becomes aware of
any development that affects the scope or timing of Consultant's services.
Client shall notify the Consultant of any deficiency in the Consultant’s services of which the Client becomes aware, so
that Consultant may take measures to minimize the consequences of such deficiency. Client’s failure to notify the
Consultant shall relieve the Consultant of any liability for costs to remedy the deficiency above the sum such remedy
would have cost had prompt notification been given when such defects were first discovered.
4. Construction Phase Services. If Consultant’s scope of services includes the observation and monitoring of work
performed by Client’s other contractors, Consultant shall provide personnel to observe and monitor the work in
accordance with the Standard of Care in order to ascertain that it is being performed in general conformance with the
plans and specifications. Consultant shall not supervise, direct, or have control over any construction contractor’s work.
Consultant shall not have authority over or responsibility for construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or
procedures or for safety precautions and programs in connection with the work of the construction contractor.
Consultant does not guarantee the performance of the construction contractor and does not assume responsibility for
the contractor’s failure to furnish and perform its work in accordance with the plans and specifications.
In the event Consultant’s scope of services does not include the observation and monitoring of work performed by
Client’s other contractors, the Client assumes all responsibility for construction observation, and Client waives any
claims against Consultant arising therefrom. Client further agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify
and hold harmless Consultant, its officers, directors, employees, and subconsultants against all damages, liabilities or
costs arising out of or in any way connected with the performance of such services by other persons or entities including
any claims arising from modifications, clarifications, interpretations, adjustments or changes made to the plans and
specifications to reflect changes in field or other conditions.
5. Ownership of Documents. All reports, drawings, specifications, data, calculations, notes, and other documents,
including those in electronic form prepared by Consultant are instruments of Consultant’s service that shall remain the
property of Consultant. Client agrees not to use the deliverables for projects other than the Project for which the
documents were prepared by Consultant, or for future modifications to the Project, without Consultant’s express written
consent. Any reuse or distribution to third parties without such express written permission or project-specific adaptation
by Consultant will be at the Client’s sole risk and without liability to Consultant or its employees, subsidiaries, and
subconsultants.
6. Opinion of Costs. When required as a part of its scope of services, Consultant will furnish opinions or estimates of
construction cost on the basis of Consultant’s experience and qualifications, but Consultant does not guarantee the
accuracy of such estimates. The parties recognize that Consultant has no control over the cost of labor, material,
equipment, or services furnished by others or over market conditions or contractors’ methods of determining prices.
7. Suspension of Services. Client may, at any time, by written notice, suspend the services of Consultant. Upon receipt
of such notice, Consultant shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate costs allocable to the suspended services. Client,
however, shall pay all reasonable and necessary costs associated with such suspension including the cost of assembling
documents, personnel and equipment, rescheduling or reassignment costs necessary to maintain continuity and the staff
required to resume the services upon expiration of the suspension.

C/O Mayor Sherry Sullivan
Mayor, City of Fairhope
Requested by:
Mr. Richard Johnson
City of Fairhope
Email: richard.johnson@fairhopeal.gov
Subject: City of Fairhope – James P. Nix Deck Repair
Dear Mr. Johnson,
Cypress Coast Consulting, LLC (Cypress Coast) is pleased to present this proposal to provide structural design and
engineering services for the deck repairs at the James P. Nix Center in Fairhope, AL. We hope you find this proposal responsive
to your request and look forward to working with you.
1.0 Project Overview
Mr. Johnson, along with other members of the City of Fairhope, have noted extensive settlement and degradation within the
existing deck surrounding the Nix Center. The deck is a timber framed structure with flitch beam components. The deck framing
supports a 4” concrete slab which serves as the walking surface above. The concrete slab has a metal deck below it atop the
timber deck framing. Structural steel girder hangers are present and serve as the primary connection between the system’s
structure and foundation. The girders are hung from the existing building’s CMU stem wall on the “interior”. On the “exterior”, the
girders are primarily supported by timber pilings. At (2) locations on the West side of the building, the “exterior” girders are
supported by large CMU pilasters atop shallow foundation elements. These shallow foundations have experienced significant
differential settlement due to the mixing of foundation types and significant erosion. Repair efforts have been made by pumping
grout below the piers, this repair however is not a temporary fix to the problem. Significant corrosion is also found within the
timber flitch beams and steel girder hangers.
2.0 Scope
Structural inspection will be performed on the deck. These inspections will be focused on the areas discussed on the South
and West sides of the structure. It is anticipated that new foundation elements will be installed on the west side of the structure to
replace existing CMU pilasters which will be removed. The foundation on the south side of the structure is assumed to be in
satisfactory condition to remain in place. Structural shoring will be required to temporarily support the deck above while new
foundation is installed. Additional repair details will include repair or replacement details for the steel girder hangers and timber
flitch beams experiencing decay.
Structural engineering and design services will be provided for the following items:
·Inspection
o Structural inspection of exterior deck at south and west side of the structure
·Foundation
o Design of shallow foundation system to support the deck and allow for the removal of the existing CMU
pilasters on the West side of the building.
o Design of deck’s anchorage to the foundation.

Re: Bid Recommendation
New Construction - Fairhope First Responder’s Hurricane Safe Room
Fairhope, Alabama
Mr. Johnson,
Bid proposals for this project were received on March 24, 2026, at 2:00 pm CST. Eleven (11) General
Contractors presented proposals and each of the sealed proposals was opened and read aloud at
the specified time and location. Other qualifying bidders did not submit a bid.
Upon reviewing each proposal, Roy Lewis Construction Corporation is the lowest responsible and
responsive bidder, with a Total Base Bid of $1,891,800.00. I have verified that their GC license is in
good standing and that their bid limit is classified as “unlimited.” There are no “alternates” for
consideration in this project.
I recommend the City of Fairhope accept the base bid proposal and award the construction
contract to Roy Lewis Construction Corporation in the contract amount of $1,891,800.00
If you have any questions, please contact me.
Respectfully submitted,
Todd F. Stewart,
Architect, AIA/NCARB

notice to the other party.
III. Standard Terms and Conditions:
Any amendment to this Agreement shall be made in writing and will
become effective upon the signature of all parties.
Failure of either party to abide by and comply with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement shall provide grounds for immediately terminating
this Agreement. Should a party default on its obligations under this Agreement,
the other party may give written notice to the defaulting party of the nature of
the default and the expected remedy. The defaulting party shall respond in
writing within ten (10) days of receiving the written notice of default; however,

each party takes responsibility only for the acts and omissions of its employees.
In the event of any dispute between the parties, senior officials of both
parties shall meet and engage in a good faith attempt to resolve the dispute.
Should that effort fail, and the dispute involves the payment of money, a party’s
sole remedy is to file a claim with the Alabama Board of Adjustment. For any and
all other disputes arising under the terms of this Agreement which negotiation
does not resolve, the parties agree to utilize appropriate forms of non-binding
alternative dispute resolution including, but not limited to, mediation. Such
dispute resolution shall occur in Montgomery, Alabama, utilizing where
appropriate, mediators selected from the roster of mediators maintained by the
Center for Dispute Resolution of the Alabama State Bar.
If any provision of this Agreement is declared void, unenforceable, or
against public policy, or if any provision shall contravene any state or federal
statute or constitutional provision or amendment, either now in effect or which
may be enacted during the course of the Agreement, the provision shall be
modified to reflect the parties’ intention(s) and all remaining provisions shall
remain in full force and effect. Invalidation or unenforceability of any part or
portion of this Agreement will not invalidate the remainder of the Agreement, and
the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect, deemed to be written,
construed, and enforced as so limited. In any event, this Agreement will be
interpreted as far as possible to give effect to the parties’ intent.
It is agreed the terms, conditions, and commitments contained herein

Section 213 of the Constitution of Alabama, 1901, as amended by Amendment
XXVI.
This Agreement is subject to the appropriation of funds to ALEA to fulfill
obligations laid out herein and will be subject to termination if such funds cease
to be available. Should funding or service requirements relative to any executed
agreements be altered, those agreements may be amended accordingly. In the
event of the proration of the fund from which payment under any agreement is
to be made, that agreement will be subject to termination. Each party agrees to
use its best efforts to secure sufficient appropriations to fund any executed
agreement. However, ALEA’s obligations under any executed agreement will
cease immediately without penalty or further payment being required if the
Alabama Legislature fails to make a sufficient appropriation. ALEA will
determine whether amounts appropriated are sufficient. ALEA will give the other
party written notice of insufficient funding as soon as practicable after becoming

instance shall not be deemed a continuing waiver unless expressly stated in

shall be entitled to all reasonable attorney’s fees on behalf of their counsel in bringing or enforcing
any of their rights under this agreement, said fees to include Court costs and interest, and shall include
cost and attorney’s fees for appellate work.
All pricing is good for 30 days. If a change order is not accepted in writing within this period, all wire,
PVC products, and all steel/metal products will have to be reprised at invoice plus markup for profit
and overhead. This is a result of the continuously rising cost of these materials.
Due to the volatile market, to save all parties involved (Owner, General Contractor, Electrical
Contractor, and NCS/Network Cabling Services, Inc.) and the added cost associated with the
continuously rising cost of all copper wire. Network Cabling Services, Inc. reserves the right (if
approved by Owner/General Contractor) to purchase the wire and store it on site in a storage
container provided by NCS. NCS would then ask to be paid within the first 30 days of the contract for
this wire purchase. If not accepted by (Owner/General Contractor), NCS would then have the right to
re-price all wire at invoice cost pus mark-up of profit and overhead at the time of wire purchase. We
at NCS feel that this is the best solution for all parties involved (General Contractor, Electrical
Contractor, and NCS), but mainly the Owner.
Network Cabling Services, Inc. shall be entitled to a finance charge of 1 ½% per month on the unpaid
balance of any amounts which are not paid within 30 days after the due date herein.
All material is guaranteed to be as specified. All work is to be completed in a workmanlike manner
according to standard practices. Any alteration or deviation from the above specifications involving
extra costs will be executed only upon written orders and will become an extra charge over and above
the estimate. No contingencies have been made for strikes, accidents, or delays beyond our control.
The owner is to carry fire, tornado, theft, and other necessary insurance. Our workers are fully
covered by Workmen’s Compensation Insurance.

Mayor and Council,
I am writing to inform you of a planned infrastructure project within the Police Department and
to document the rationale for proceeding under an exemption to the Alabama Competitive Bid
Law.
The city intends to install fiber optic cabling within the secure area of our police facility to
directly connect the new planned dispatch center to the main police network core. This
connection will carry Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) data and is a critical
component of the Police Department’s internal communications and operational systems.
Unlike typical fiber projects involving public rights-of-way or general construction, this
installation will occur entirely within a restricted-access law enforcement environment. The work
necessarily involves identifying and utilizing specific internal cable pathways, network access
points, and system interconnections that are integral to secure police operations.
Public advertisement and competitive bidding of this project would require disclosure of
sensitive information related to the Police Department’s internal network infrastructure,
including routing, connection points, and system design. Such disclosure could create security
vulnerabilities and increase the risk of unauthorized access to systems that support law
enforcement activities and protected CJIS data.
Based on these factors, this project is being classified as exempt from the competitive bid
requirements pursuant to Ala. Code § 41-16-51 and applicable interpretations recognizing
exceptions where compliance with the bid process would compromise public safety or security.
This approach is consistent with the need to safeguard sensitive law enforcement infrastructure
while ensuring the reliability and integrity of the City’s dispatch and communications systems.
Please let me know if you have any questions or would like additional information.
Respectfully,
Jeff Montgomery
Director of Information Technology

principal terms of suggested loan facilities and is intended for discussion purposes only.
This Term Sheet is delivered to you on the understanding that any of the terms of substance hereunder shall not be disclosed, directly

solutions.

AMORTIZATION: Outstanding Principal and Interest and all other payment obligations owed to the Bank under the
Credit Facility shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

and credit is pledged.

paid with respect to the Bonds, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the Bank an amount
equal to the positive difference, if any, between the amount of interest that would have been paid
during the period of taxability if the Bonds had borne interest at a taxable rate and the interest
actually received by the Bank with respect to the Bonds.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM Item ID: 2026-797
FROM: Kim Creech, City Treasurer
SUBJECT: Reimbursement resolution for planning the design, construction and
financing of various capital improvements to the water works plant
and distribution system and the sanitary sewer system.
AGENDA
DATE:
April 13, 2026
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
To adopt a resolution which authorizes the City to reimburse itself from warrant issue
proceeds for planning the design, construction and financing of various capital
improvements to the water works plant and distribution system and the sanitary sewer
system to be financed.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Reimbursement Resolution is a formality per U.S. Treasury regulations, which will
allow the City the option to start planning the design, construction and of various capital
improvements to the water works plant and distribution system and the sanitary sewer
system. The Resolution would allow the City to incur project capital costs now, and
later reimburse itself out of warrant proceeds. The reimbursement resolution gives the
City flexibility if it ultimately borrows and allows the City to reimburse itself (looking back
60 days prior to the date of the resolution being adopted). The reimbursement
resolution does not imply a particular type of financing transaction or does not authorize
financing.
