The Glynn County Board of Commissioners held a public bid opening on October 1, 2025, for the RFP 26-007, which pertains to the Countywide Bicycle Pedestrian Master Trails Plan. The meeting was led by Nikki Thompson, the procurement analyst for Glynn County, and was streamed live on the county's YouTube channel to ensure transparency and public access.

Thompson began the session by outlining the procedures for the bid opening, emphasizing that all participants were required to sign an attendance sheet. She reminded attendees that the Board of Commissioners retains the right to waive technicalities and make awards that serve the best interests of Glynn County. Following the bid review process, a bid tabulation sheet will be made available on the county's website, and interested parties are encouraged to sign up for bid alerts to receive notifications.

Five bids were received for the project, with the following companies submitting proposals:
1. EXP US Services Incorporated from Jacksonville, Florida
2. Foresight Group LLC from Peachtree Corners, Georgia
3. Grissom Smith from Nashville, Tennessee
4. Pond and Company from Savannah, Georgia
5. Robert and Company from Atlanta, Georgia

The bid opening concluded with Thompson inviting any questions from participants, providing her email address for further inquiries. The recommended award will be presented to the finance committee and subsequently to the full Board of Commissioners at their next scheduled monthly meeting, marking the next steps in the procurement process for the Bicycle Pedestrian Master Trails Plan.
