County staff present LMEG road resurfacing bids from three contractors; public projects require 10% match
Summary
Three contractors submitted bids for LMEG and LRA road resurfacing projects covering multiple county roads; projects require a 10% local match and some city partners must decide whether to supplement limited available city funds.
County road department staff presented three sets of bids for the LMEG (state-local paving) and LRA projects from Reeves Construction, E.R. Snell and Beams Contracting and asked commissioners to authorize reviews ahead of the paving season. The bids covered multiple county and municipal roads with totals reported per contractor.
According to the presentation, Reeves' county LRA bid totaled $1,062,268.75 and Reeves' LMEG county bid was about $3,881,751.50. E.R. Snell's county LRA bid was $1,132,006.15 and its LMEG county bid was $4,250,053.75. Beams Contracting submitted a lower LRA bid of about $1,000,001.68 and an LMEG county bid of about $4,529,009.96. County staff said LMEG funding from the state requires a 10% local match, while LRA funding does not require a match.
Staff noted the county is assisting the cities of Keeseville and Sardis with the bidding to achieve better pricing; the municipal bids are smaller amounts and the cities will need to decide whether to provide additional matching funds. Keeseville’s available local LMEG funds were described as limited, and staff said the city might need to decide whether to contribute more.
Road staff requested the county road department review and committee action soon so work could begin before the end of paving season (around mid‑October). Commissioners did not award contracts at the session; staff will return with formal recommendations after engineering review.
