County awards asphalt, hauling and bulk‑fuel contracts for FY2025
Summary
Henderson County awarded FY2025 contracts for asphalt materials, delivery hauling and bulk fuel after reviewing multiple bids and product differences by plant and mixture.
At its meeting, the Henderson County Commissioners Court opened and awarded multiple bids for fiscal year 2025 road materials, hauling and bulk fuel.
Staff reported multiple vendor responses for asphalt products including cold mix, hot mix (with and without recycled content), bagged asphalt and oil sand. Commissioners discussed differences between products by plant and by mixture (oil and sand versus oil, sand and gravel), pickup versus delivery pricing and how hauling contracts interact with product purchases.
The court made the following awards: oil sand pickup — primary to Brown and Brown (low bidder) with Texas Materials as secondary; delivery of oil sand — Aggregate Haulers as primary; cold mix, hot mix (with and without recycled content) — Texas Materials; bagged asphalt — Asphalt Patch Enterprises; hauling contract — 4M Trucking (doing business as 4M); bulk fuel — Eagle Fuel. Each motion passed unanimously.
Staff noted availability and plant production schedules can affect delivery and that the county maintains a separate hauling contract to manage deliveries across multiple plants. The court emphasized the practical need to balance low bids with proximity and product availability.
