The Board of Public Works and Safety approved purchase of mobile barricades and a modular vehicle barrier system from Advanced Security Technologies LLC at its Oct. 1 meeting.
Travis Stabak, operations manager for the Street Department, told the board the department has pursued this procurement since early 2023 and that chiefs in public safety helped advance the request over the past six to seven months. Stabak said the purchase is intended to secure up to 20 12-foot lanes for events and festivals.
Street Commissioner Matt Higginbotham introduced the item on the board's agenda. The motion to approve passed by voice vote.
Why it matters: The procurement provides physical barriers to manage vehicle access at large public events and festivals, a public-safety measure for crowd and traffic management.
Ending: The board approved the purchase; staff will proceed with vendor contracting and deployment planning.
