Court accepts single bid for rubber‑modified asphalt under county grant

Russell County accepted a single bid for asphalt work tied to a grant package at its July 14 meeting. According to the bid opening presented to the court, the only bidder was Gaddy Shamrock, which offered a normal asphalt bid of $89,582 and a rubber‑modified asphalt bid of $133,420. A county official said the award is connected to a grant pursued by county staff (identified in the packet as work Susan secured) and that “there’s a lot of documentation and stuff that has to be done with this proposal.”
