Commissioners Approve Allied Fence Bid for Security Fence Project

The Grayson County regular meeting held on August 26, 2025, focused on key infrastructure developments and contract approvals. The meeting commenced with a discussion on awarding a bid for a security fence intended for the new community supervision and corrections department.

Matt, representing Jody, presented the findings from the evaluation of ten submissions for the project. The bid from Allied Fence was selected as the best value at $96,487. Matt noted the county's positive past experiences with Allied Fence and highlighted that any unused materials or labor would result in a refund to the county. Following the presentation, a motion to award the bid to Allied Fence was made by Commissioner Wright and seconded by Commissioner Arthur. The motion passed unanimously.

The meeting then transitioned to the next agenda item, which involved a developer's contract and right-of-way permit for the installation of two 48-inch culverts along Old Sanborn Ranch Road. The engineering drawings for these improvements were reviewed and approved, allowing the owner to begin construction.

Overall, the meeting underscored the county's commitment to enhancing community infrastructure through strategic partnerships and careful evaluation of bids. Further updates on these projects are anticipated in future meetings.
