Bullock County reviews $487,206 CDBG paving bid as state approval looms
Summary
County engineer told commissioners the Community Development Block Grant paving project returned a contractor bid of $487,206.25; work would need state approval and is tentatively scheduled to begin two to three weeks after clearance.
County officials in Bullock County heard details Thursday about a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) roadway project that returned a contractor bid of $487,206.25.
The county engineer said two bids were received and that the lead bid for asphalt work totaled $487,206.25. The engineer told commissioners that the project “has to get approved by the state” and that crews are planning to start “sometime in the next 2 to 3 weeks” after state approval, calling the schedule tentative.
Chairman [name not specified in record] called for a motion to adopt a commission resolution to authorize the CDBG roadway improvements. Commissioners made a motion and a second; the transcript records the motion and second but does not include a formal roll-call tally or a recorded outcome for that resolution in the provided excerpt.
Why it matters: The CDBG program helps counties fund local infrastructure improvements. If approved by the state and adopted by the commission, the paving work would move forward with the contractor whose bid was discussed.
What comes next: The project requires state approval before work begins. Commissioners did not record a final vote total in the available transcript excerpt; staff will need to confirm whether the commission formally adopted the resolution and, if so, the timeline for contracting and mobilization.
