Commissioners table asphalt-paving bid award for one week to review mileage charges
Summary
Rogers County received two bids for asphalt paving services—McKinsey Asphalt and Brent Bell Construction—with differing per-ton and delivery charges; the commissioners voted unanimously to table award for one week pending a detailed mileage chart.
Rogers County commissioners heard two bids for asphalt paving services and unanimously voted to table the award for one week so staff can provide a detailed mileage chart comparing delivery charges.
County staff said they solicited 22 bids and received two responses. The first bid listed McKinsey Asphalt (also referenced as Kinsey Asphalt in staff remarks) with unit prices of $16 (per ton) for multiple Claremore, Chelsea, Foyil and district areas; delivery charges ranged from $6.40 for 1 mile to $16.21 for 50 miles. The second bid, from Brent Bell Construction, quoted $14.50 per ton in some District 1 areas and $15 per ton in others, with delivery charges from $5.55 (1 mile) to $14 (50 miles).
After staff reported the bids and the line-item delivery schedule, a commissioner moved to table the award for one week to allow review of the mileage chart; another commissioner seconded the motion. The vote was recorded as unanimous; the motion carried.
Why it matters: Delivery and mileage charges materially affect the county—s total paving costs across multiple districts. Commissioners said they wanted the mileage chart before committing to a contractor so they could compare total landed cost by district.
No formal contract was executed at the meeting; the board delayed awarding the contract pending the requested cost breakdown.
