Summary
Wichita County Commissioners took multiple bids for plastic culverts, crushed concrete and cold-lay/asphalt under advisement, including a crushed-concrete origin price of $14 per ton and various unit prices for plastic culverts and cold-lay asphalt delivery rates.
The Wichita County Commissioners Court on May 27 voted to take under advisement several bids for road materials, including plastic culverts, crushed concrete and cold-lay/asphalt deliveries.
Bidders and representative prices recorded in the meeting included Big City Crushed Concrete (crushed concrete at origin, $14 per ton), Texoma Culverts (plastic culverts with material-only prices and a $2 per mile delivery charge from yard to drop-off), Atlantic Coast (asphalt cold-lay quoted at $125 per ton at origin with higher delivery rates to specific towns), and several other vendors offering site- and diameter-specific prices for plastic culverts. A detailed set of line-item prices for multiple diameters and fittings was read into the record.
County staff recommended taking the bids under advisement; Commissioner Beauchamp moved and Commissioner Fincannon seconded the motion. The court approved the motion 5-0.
No award or contract was made at the session; the bids will be reviewed and contracts or purchases will be determined later. The court noted some bids were subject to price escalation clauses while others were not, and commissioners asked clarifying questions about delivery points and per-ton/per-item pricing.
The court took no procurement action that obligates funds during the meeting.
