Commission Rejects Timber Ridge Bid After Single Offer Exceeds Budget
Summary
The county received one bid for the Timber Ridge Road rehabilitation — reportedly over $500,000 versus an estimated $350,000 budget — and commissioners voted to reject the bid and rebid the project with clarifications.
Chambers County staff told commissioners that only one bid was received for the Timber Ridge Road rehabilitation project and that it exceeded the department’s budget. According to staff, the lone bid from CMOST was "over $500,000," while the county's budget for the project is about $350,000.
Commissioners discussed prior bid counts and whether items in the plans needed clarification. Staff said they would re-solicit the work after clarifying specifications. The commission approved rejecting the bid and authorized rebidding the project.
No contractor was selected; staff indicated documents were ready to reissue once the commission approved the rebid.
