Commission awards joint asphalt contract to Emery Sapp & Sons after joint bid with Pittsburg

County staff presented a joint bid outcome for asphalt supplies and recommended awarding the contract to Emery Sapp & Sons after a multi-agency procurement with the City of Pittsburg.

A county staff member said the county partnered with the city on a joint bid to secure better pricing and noted the county crew had already used the vendor’s product with positive feedback: "I've heard good things about it," the staff member said. The staff member also noted the advantage of having a local supplier this year when hauling costs are a concern.

The staff presentation listed Blevins and another bidder, recorded in the transcript as "Beddes," as other bidders. Commissioners had no substantive objections and a motion to approve the contract with Emery Sapp & Sons and authorize the chair to sign was seconded and approved.

The meeting record does not include the full bid tabulation or per-ton pricing in the spoken transcript; commissioners referred to the bid prices on the packet’s back page. The contract award was recorded as approved and the chair was authorized to sign.
