Board approves purchase of two trucks, culvert repair contract, and engineering engagement for guardrail project
Summary
Tazewell County Board approved three resolutions: purchase of two budgeted trucks, award of culvert repair to low bidder Nat Concrete ($57,748), and $325,000 engineering engagement for a guardrail project with a 90% federal grant and 10% local match. Motions passed with 'aye' votes recorded in the meeting.
The Tazewell County Board considered and approved three routine resolutions during the meeting.
First, the board approved T‑26‑O1 to purchase two fully equipped trucks (plows, spreaders and associated equipment). The motion was made by Grass and seconded by Stimpson; the clerk called for the vote and the motion passed.
Second, the board approved a contract for repair of a failed wing wall on a culvert. Officials reported five bids were received and the low bid of $57,748 was submitted by Nat Concrete. The motion to award the contract was moved by Nelms and seconded by Tinson; the board voted in favor and the motion passed.
Third, the board approved T‑26‑O3 to engage an engineering firm for a guardrail replacement project with an engineering contract value of $325,000. The project uses a federal grant covering 90% of the cost and a local 10% match. The motion was moved by Graff and seconded by Nelms; the motion passed.
Meeting remarks noted supply‑chain issues as a rationale for purchasing two trucks at once and that the guardrail project had a lengthy history and an awarded contractor pending engineering oversight. No roll‑call tallies by name were recorded in the public transcript; the clerk recorded vocal 'aye' responses and the motions were declared passed.
