Ware County OKs $2.76 million contract for dirt-road paving
Summary
The Ware County Commission awarded a $2,764,725.60 contract to Thrift Brothers LLC for Dirt Road Paving Project 2 covering four named roads; Chairman Elmer Thrift abstained from the vote because of a conflict-of-interest noted in the agenda.
Ware County commissioners voted April 14 to award a $2,764,725.60 contract to Thrift Brothers LLC for Dirt Road Paving Project 2, covering Paschall, N. McDonald, Griffin and Cornelius roads.
The motion to approve the bid was made by Commissioner Timmy Lucas and seconded by Commissioner Leonard Burse. Vice Chairman Barry Cox read the agenda item before the motion. In the roll call, Chairman Elmer Thrift recorded an abstention; the remaining four commissioners voted yes and the award passed.
The project was presented as a sealed-bid award on the commission agenda; the motion and vote formally authorized the county to contract with Thrift Brothers LLC for the quoted amount. The award was discussed briefly with no additional public comment recorded at the meeting.
Next steps include executing the contract and proceeding with scheduling and project oversight per county procurement procedures.
