Chilton County commissioners voted to accept and award the single qualified bid for construction of trails on the newly acquired Manuka property to Central Alabama Movers/Ashley Brasher and authorized the chairman to sign the contract.

The county confirmed the work will be paid from remaining grant funds for the property; county staff said the contractor will use its own equipment and not county equipment. One commissioner recorded an abstention during the vote.
The commission approved the motion after discussion about grant eligibility and equipment use. No dollar amount for the contract was stated in the meeting record; procurement documentation and the contract signature were authorized at the chair's discretion.
