Henry County awards $45,000 contract for pavement striping covering most county roads
Summary
County commissioners approved a $45,000 payment to stripe about 300,000 linear feet of center and some edge lines across Henry County roads.
Henry County commissioners approved a contract payment of $45,000 to restripe approximately 300,000 linear feet of county roads, primarily center lines with limited edge lines.
A county representative described the contractor's quote and explained the minimum-bill requirement: "He says, a minimum of 300,000 linear feet, and that's because he charged, mobilization and demobilization if he didn't." The representative said the contractor's price is competitive given current demand for striping contractors.
A motion to approve the payment for striping passed by voice vote, recorded 3-0. The county official who presented the item said the work would cover "pretty much most of the county," and identified roads in need of striping such as Sulphur Springs Road and Greensboro Pike.
Why it matters: The restriping project affects road safety on curvy county roads and represents a budgeted pavement-marking expense. The presenter said the $45,000 covers mobilization and stripe application for the stated linear footage.
Officials said the funding is available in the current budget; commissioners approved the contract without amendment and directed staff to proceed with the work.
No formal protest or alternative bids were recorded in the meeting minutes.
