Commissioners accept low bid for county CCMG resurfacing, conditioned on paperwork
Summary
Daviess County highway department opened two bids for its 2025 CCMG resurfacing project and commissioners voted to accept the low responsible bid from E & B Paving for $1,293,475, contingent on required documentation being in order.
Daviess County commissioners voted to accept the low, responsible bid for a 2025 resurfacing project funded through the County Road Matching Grant (CCMG) program after opening bids from two firms.
Highway superintendent Chris (last name not specified) opened two bids: E & B Paving at $1,293,475 and Milestone Contractors at $1,653,027. Chris said the job covers approximately 10 miles of roadway with milling and resurfacing, and that the county's estimate had been in the roughly $1.0–1.5 million range. He told commissioners that state grant and contracting deadlines require the county to be under contract within the program’s four-month window to retain federal funding.
Commissioner Keith moved to accept the low bid from E & B Paving, conditioned on verification that all required bonds and documentation were included; Commissioner Cook seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
Why it matters: the county must meet state and federal timing and documentation requirements to secure CCMG funds. Accepting the low bid, subject to paperwork review, lets staff move toward contract execution while protecting the county from awarding a contract before necessary bonds or forms are confirmed.
End note: Highway staff will proceed with final documentation and prepare contract signatures so work can accelerate to meet grant timelines.
