County staff recommend awarding landfill parking improvements to Reed’s Construction for $268,353.30
Summary
Dougherty County staff recommended awarding a $268,353.30 contract to Reed’s Construction (Albany, GA) to perform parking improvements at the county landfill; six bids were received and funding is budgeted in the Solid Waste Infrastructure Improvements Fund.
County staff recommended accepting a low responsive and responsible bid from Reed’s Construction of Albany, Georgia, to perform parking improvements at the county landfill for $268,353.30, Assistant County Administrator Barry Brooks told commissioners April 14.
Brooks said six bids were received for the project with the highest bid at $384,326; funding is budgeted in the Solid Waste Infrastructure Improvements Fund. Brooks described the scope as paving the apron and area around scales that are being replaced as part of the landfill scale project.
Why it matters: The county is replacing inbound and outbound scales; staff said paving around the scales is part of completing the project and maintaining safe, durable access for solid-waste customers and collection operations.
Next steps and context: Brooks said he and the public-works team visited the site and observed progress on scale installation; staff will proceed with procurement steps to finalize the contract if the commission approves the recommendation. The transcript records the recommendation and discussion but does not record a formal commission vote on the award at the work session.
Ending: Staff indicated the low responsive bid from Reed’s Construction should meet project needs and that the city had assisted with the RFP process.
