Summary
County staff reported Thrift Brothers submitted the low bid of $2,764,725.60 for Dirt Road Paving Project 2; County Manager James Shubert proposed paying two roads from SPLOST and two from LMIG funds, leaving about $206,720.89 in LRA funds.
County Manager James Shubert presented bids for Dirt Road Paving Project 2 and said Thrift Brothers, LLC submitted the low base bid of $2,764,725.60; the only other bid listed was from The Scruggs Company at $3,376,898.75.
Shubert proposed using two funding sources: SPLOST to pay for Griffin Road ($623,294.10) and N. McDonald Road ($983,292.00), and Local Road Assistance (second round of 2024 LMIG) to pay for Paschall Road ($890,486.10) and Cornelius Road ($267,653.40). He said the total 2024 LRA grant amount is $1,364,860.39 and that after paying Paschall and Cornelius there would be $206,720.89 remaining in LRA funds for other county road improvements.
Why it matters: The award represents a multi‑hundred‑thousand‑dollar procurement that directs SPLOST and state LMIG funds to specific road projects across Ware County.
