Clerk reads bidders in Cole County bid opening for 2026 road, asphalt and spray-material contracts
Summary
A Cole County clerk read aloud bids received for multiple 2026 procurement lots — including road materials, asphalt, signs, pipes and spray chemicals — naming a series of contractors such as Higgins Asphalt Paving Company, Capital Materials and Helena Agriculture Enterprises. No awards or votes were recorded in the transcript.
A county clerk announced the opening of bids and read the names of firms that submitted proposals for several 2026 procurement lots, including road materials, asphalt, signage, pipes and spray chemicals.
“We have bid openings today,” the clerk said, then proceeded to read bids for “20 26 dash o 2 road materials,” listing “Higgins Corey,” “O’Lian Corey,” “Capital Quarry’s Company” and “Capital Sand Company.” The clerk then read bidders for other lots, including “20 26 dash o 4 Blaze” (Winter Equipment Company; Beebrock Sales and Services) and “20 26 dash o 5 mosquito spray materials” (Clark; Adaptco).
The clerk continued through additional procurement items, naming bidders for vegetation spray materials (including Van Dyce Supply and Helena Agriculture Enterprises, with later readings of “Orange Solutions” and the transcript phrase “Nutrient and amp Solutions”), a bidders entry for “20 26 dash o 7” naming McDowell And West, and an asphalt-related lot (“20 26 dash o 8, coal milling and asphalt paper”) listing Jefferson Asphalt Company and Higgins Asphalt Paving Company.
The clerk also read multiple companies on the sign-materials list for “20 26 dash o 9,” including firms transcribed as “TNA traffic products or JNA traffic products,” “Newman Science,” “do solutions?,” “Vulcan signs,” “Custom Products Corporation,” and “live enterprises.” For “20 26 dash 10 asphalt materials,” the clerk listed NB West Contracting, Higgins Asphalt Paving Company, Capital Materials and a line transcribed as “Christensen brother, asphalt.” The final lot read, “20 26 dash 11 pipes,” included names transcribed as “Colon stated pipe and supply,” “Wellborn sales,” “Corn main, Metal Culverts” and “we brought sales and service.”
The transcript records the clerk’s oral reading of bidder names and several pauses or corrections while the clerk verified the exact names; the recording includes phonetic or uncertain transcriptions (for example, “Nutrient and amp Solutions,” “do solutions?,” and two alternate renderings of a traffic-products firm). Those cases are reported here exactly as read in the transcript rather than as corrected trade names.
No motions, votes or contract awards are recorded in these segments of the transcript. The clerk’s reading concludes with the final bidders identified; the transcript does not record next steps or award decisions.
