Commission designates New Way Concrete Forms as sole-source supplier for bridge rebar and forms
Summary
Facing unavailable local supplies, commissioners approved a sole-source designation for New Way Concrete Forms Southeast LLC to supply pre-bent rebar and forms needed for the Mulberry Chapel Bridge project.
County staff and contractors told the commission they were unable to source required 30-foot-length rebar and pre-bent forms from local suppliers for the Mulberry Chapel Bridge project. Ryan Long said local vendors could not supply the specific sizes and pre-bent components the project required and recommended New Way Concrete Forms Southeast LLC, which could deliver the materials.
Commissioners moved to approve a sole-source designation for New Way, citing the need for specific-length and pre-bent materials that local suppliers could not provide. The board approved the sole-source designation by voice vote. Staff noted the company has regional locations and that the county expects on-time delivery for the bridge span work.
The approval allows staff to proceed with procurement from New Way for rebar and forms needed for the bridge project; documentation of the sole-source justification should be filed with procurement records.
