Court accepts single bid for rubber‑modified asphalt under county grant
Summary
The fiscal court accepted a single bid—Gaddy Shamrock—for asphalt and a rubber‑modified asphalt option tied to a grant; the court approved the bid by voice vote and noted substantial documentation requirements for the 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.”
The court approved a motion to accept the bid by voice vote. The procuring department and grant manager were directed to complete required documentation before work proceeds.
Why it matters: accepting the bid moves a grant‑funded road project toward contracting, but county staff noted that grant compliance and paperwork remain extensive before project execution.
Details: the meeting record shows the bid numbers and that only one vendor responded. The court acknowledged the documentation burden and approved the award; specific contract terms, start dates and funding breakdowns were not discussed in detail during the public portion of the meeting and are “not specified” in the transcript packet.
Next steps: county staff to complete grant paperwork and finalize procurement steps before any work begins.
