Jones County awards Morris Stevens road contract to JJA Enterprises
Summary
The board accepted a low bid from JJA Enterprises and voted to award a road-construction contract (motion recorded in meeting for $1,357,803.20), following staff review of bid tabulation and references.
The Jones County Board of Commissioners voted to award a road-construction contract to JJA Enterprises of Madison after engineering staff presented the bid tabulation for the Morris Stevens/Kitchen Road project.
Engineering told the board that 10 firms bid on the project and that staff had checked vendor references before recommending the low bidder. A commissioner moved to accept the JJA Enterprises bid in the amount recorded in the meeting, and the motion passed by voice vote.
Commissioners discussed past per-foot unit prices for similar pipe work, noting lower current bids compared with prior projects. Staff said the low price represented relief in per-foot costs compared with earlier estimates but did not provide additional line-item detail during the vote.
The board did not discuss contract execution details in the public portion of the meeting; staff indicated they had verified references and recommended award. Final construction timing and contract-signed dates were not specified during the meeting.
