City awards multiple public-works material contracts for fiscal year 2026
Summary
Council voted to award several city procurement contracts for road and public-works materials—awards included W&L Construction (asphalt patching), Appalachian Aggregates, Salem Stone Corporation and Vulcan Materials for aggregates, Lakeside Ready Mix for concrete, and Morton Salt for deicing salt.
Bristol Virginia City Council approved awards for several public-works procurement contracts at its June 24 meeting, authorizing purchases of asphalt concrete patching material, crushed stone and sand, concrete, and deicing salt for fiscal year 2026.
Tamara (staff) summarized the competitive procurement process: bids were advertised in May 2025 on the city’s website and Virginia’s electronic procurement portal; staff evaluated responsiveness and responsibility and recommended awards to the lowest responsive bidders. Staff recommended W and L Construction for asphalt concrete patching material (ITB-PW-26-001), Lakeside Ready Mix for Portland cement concrete and flowable fill (ITB-PW-26-003), Morton Salt for deicing salt (ITB-PW-26-004), and a combination of Appalachian Aggregates, Salem Stone Corporation and Vulcan Materials for multiple crushed-stone and sand line items (ITB-PW-26-002 and ITB-SW-26-001).
Council discussion noted appreciation for having multiple bidders to promote competition and better pricing, and staff emphasized that awards were to the lowest responsive and responsible bidders. Each award was approved by roll-call vote with affirmative responses recorded by council members on each item.
Staff said vendors would deliver specified materials or provide city pickup depending on the bid line items, and that the city’s public-works manager Michael Main was present to answer technical questions. No individual contract dollar amounts were read into the record during the meeting summary that evening; staff indicated full bid documents and vendor information are on file with the purchasing office.
