Johnson County opens sealed bids for 2025 mill-and-overlay and Morgantown Road roundabout projects
Summary
The Board of Johnson County Commissioners opened sealed bids for the 2025 mill-and-overlay program and for roundabouts at SR 144 and Morgantown Road, then referred both procurements to county highway staff for recommendation.
The Board of Johnson County Commissioners opened sealed bids Monday for the county's 2025 mill-and-overlay roadwork and for roundabout construction at State Road 144 and Morgantown Road.
County staff read aloud multiple bids received for the mill-and-overlay project. Calumet Civil Contractors submitted $2,398,000; All Star Paving Inc. (reported alongside a DC Construction Services entry) submitted $3,342,941; a bid from E and B Paving LLC was $2,791,818.41; Howard Asphalt LLC bid $2,193,994.59; another Howard Asphalt line totaled $2,168,605.57; Reece Riley Construction Company bid $2,331,697.17; Milestone Contractors bid $2,552,511.03.
For the CL 144/Morgantown Road roundabout, the board read totals including Calumet (reported as $1,413,000.00), E and V Paving LLC, Reece Riley Construction (reported as $1,381,856.44), a larger numeric transcription of $1,274,529.71 attributed to another bidder, and Milestone Contractors at $1,448,100.00.
After the openings, a commissioner moved and a colleague seconded to turn both bid packages over to county highway staff (Luke and Daniel were named by the motion) and ask highway to return recommendation at the next meeting; the board approved the motion by voice vote.
Why it matters: the mill-and-overlay program and the Morgantown Road roundabout are capital projects that affect county road condition and traffic flow; referring bids to highway staff starts the procurement step that may lead to contract award and construction in 2025.
Details and next steps: highway staff will review responsiveness, completeness, and engineer estimates before making a recommendation to the commissioners at a future meeting. The bids as read during the meeting serve as the public record of offers received; the board did not award contracts at Monday's meeting.
Votes at the meeting on these items were voice votes recorded as "motion carries." No member-level roll-call votes were read into the record during the openings.
