Summary
The county accepted the lowest responsible bid from CW Matthews for a 2025 resurfacing project at $1,313,105 and authorized staff to apply remaining funds to additional local roads, including up to $100,000 for work on Wrightsville Road.
Commissioners approved awarding the county’s 2025 resurfacing contract to CW Matthews Contracting after staff and EMC Engineering recommended the low, responsible bid of $1,313,105.
Staff told the board six bids were opened and the low bid from CW Matthews was recommended for award. Staff said the project’s allocated amount was larger than the low bid, leaving funds available to expand work within the project area.
During discussion commissioners proposed using remaining funds to extend paving on Wrightsville Road and other nearby segments. The board authorized proceeding with Wrightsville Road improvements “not to exceed $100,000,” and directed staff to work with EMC Engineering to identify additional road segments to use the remaining allocation.
Next steps: staff will finalize the contract with CW Matthews and return appropriate paperwork for chair signature; EMC Engineering will provide a prioritized list of additional road segments for the board’s review.
