Russell County approves road bids, accepts KYTC FlexRoads recommendations and awards public works contracts
Summary
The fiscal court approved county participation in the KYTC county road aid program, accepted District 8 FlexRoads resurfacing recommendations worth $340,508 in flex funds, and awarded multiple public-works and supply contracts including janitorial supplies, crushed stone, chip-and-seal, hot mix and fuel providers.
The Russell County Fiscal Court approved participation in the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet county road aid (CRA) program and moved forward multiple procurement awards and road maintenance contracts during its meeting.
The court passed a resolution confirming participation in the CRA program and authorized the county judge to sign the required memorandum of agreement. The court also reviewed KYTC District 8's FlexRoads recommendations for the county; staff presented three state-recommended resurfacing projects totaling 3.491 miles and reported the county's FlexRoads allocation at $340,508. Staff said they would submit photographs (sign, pre-construction and post-construction) as required by the state for final ranking and selection.
On procurement, the court accepted bids and awarded contracts and vendor approvals across several categories: - Janitorial and laundry supplies: Norvex (current vendor) and Kerr Workplace Solutions were both accepted to provide supplies and services. - Crushed stone/rock: The court accepted multiple quarry bidders (Rogers Group, Gaddy's and others) with supplier-specific prices discussed; the court approved dual awards with the understanding the road foreman will specify vendor selection for each delivery. - Chip-and-seal and hot-mix paving: Bids were considered from local and regional providers (including Gatties, Rogers Group, Selby Asphalt Maintenance); the court accepted vendors and noted mileage- and site-based pricing tiers and an asphalt price-index adjustment in hot mix pricing. - Road oil and asphalt-related materials: Hudson Oil's pricing for RS-2 and other oils was reviewed and accepted; Premier (current provider) and White Oil bids for fuel were considered and the court moved to accept the lowest responsive bidder on fuel. - Equipment/services: Selby Asphalt Maintenance was approved to provide asphalt maintenance and emergency road services with job-by-job quotes recommended, plus standard terms for approvals by the road foreman.
The court also accepted a low bid recommendation for airport lawn maintenance from Travis Dixon on the airport board's recommendation.
Court members and staff discussed logistics for acceptance: county responsibility for purchasing oil and stone for chip-and-seal; minimum-haul and per-ton mileage charges; and the requirement that the road foreman or designated official approve individual repair orders.
Ending: Staff said they will finalize contract documents with the accepted vendors and submit the FlexRoads packet to KYTC this week for ranking and final allocations.
