Madison County receives multiple bids for county project; award set for Sept. 8

Madison County staff opened and read several bids submitted for a county construction project on Sept. 3, 2025, reporting bid totals that ranged from $553,231 to $1,351,970. County officials said the Board of Commissioners will review the submissions and announce a contract award on Sept. 8.

County staff provided a line-by-line reading of the bids during the opening. A staff reader identified one submission as Griffith Brothers and said, "So their bid total is $559,060." The same reader stated another figure as "553,231" and read other totals aloud: $981,290 for Mark Jones Enterprise, $1,351,970 for Georgia Sewer and Storm LLC and $1,187,665 for a firm identified in the record as Shibe Construction (transcript phrasing: "On Shiva on Shibe Construction"). A separate entry in the record listed Dell Construction as a submitter; staff noted a thumb drive in a bag accompanying a submission.

County staff said the bids will be reviewed for references and scope and that the Board of Commissioners "will make the award." Staff announced the award notice will be issued Sept. 8 and told attendees they may review the meeting recording on the county website to hear the full reading.

The record does not show any formal vote or award at the Sept. 3 session. County staff said they would perform a thorough review of the bids and referenced checking bid bonds and other required documentation before the board acts. No contract award, motion, or vote was recorded in the transcript excerpt.

Madison County provided the bids in the presence of staff; the county will publicly announce the winning bidder on Sept. 8, according to staff remarks at the bid opening.
