Supervisors awarded Contract ID 91CO91-143 for HMA resurfacing with milling on County Highway G76 to Inroads LLC (low bid $3,788,484.50). The project will be funded from the Farm-to-Market account with $2,000,000 reimbursed by a federal earmark; bidding and schedule details were provided by the county engineer.
The Warren County Board of Supervisors on Jan. 8 approved awarding Contract ID 91CO91-143 — an HMA resurfacing with milling project on County Highway G76 from Highway 69 to New Virginia — to Inroads LLC, the low bidder at $3,788,484.50.
County engineer Tim told the board the project will mill 2 inches and place 3 inches of asphalt and add asphalt shoulders through base widening. During design the county found failing pipes under the road and added roughly $800,000 to the project budget to line those pipes rather than excavate. Tim said the low bid was approximately $1,000,000 under the engineer's estimate, and that five bids were received: Inroads ($3,788,484.50), Norris Asphalt ($3,963,785.65), Grimes Asphalt and Paving ($4,108,109.84), Western Engineering ($4,207,540.26) and Manatts ($4,263,242.05).
Funding will come from the county's Farm-to-Market (FM) account; Tim said $2,000,000 will be reimbursed to the FM account through a federal earmark secured via Rep. Miller-Meeks' office, and the earmark represents the last of two such grants that together provided about $3.6 million in additional funding. Tim said the project "will not touch our budget at all" and should be completed during the calendar year, though the contractor could choose a start date up to the late-start date in September.
A motion to approve the Inroads LLC contract as described by the engineer was made and seconded; roll-call votes were recorded as aye and the contract award passed.
