Commissioners award low‑hanging limb‑trimming contract to Great Rate
Summary
The Holmes County Board approved awarding trimming of low‑hanging limbs on county roads to Great Rate for $1,200, funded from road department contingencies; commissioners noted further locations may be added.
The Holmes County Board of Commissioners approved a contract to cut low‑hanging limbs that have created hazards on county roads, awarding the work to Great Rate at a quoted cost of $1,200 for the identified stretches.
The road superintendent presented quotes; Great Rate offered $1,200 for the named locations, which matched the lowest responsive bid available at the meeting. The board discussed that other locations in the county also need trimming and agreed the road department would identify any additional spots and return with updated estimates if required.
A commissioner said crews observed low limbs that risked striking taller vehicles, including semis and RVs, and the board noted the work will be paid from the road department contingency account. The motion to award the work to Great Rate was moved, seconded and approved.
Commissioners directed the road department to issue a work authorization to Great Rate and to report back if additional trimming is necessary. No detailed contract document number was recorded in the meeting transcript; staff indicated the work will be added to continuing road maintenance activity as needed.
