Bedford County awards broadband infrastructure bid to local contractor Cottle’s Asphalt
Summary
The county accepted the low bid from Cottle’s Asphalt, Inc. for the Bedford County Broadband Infrastructure project; ATCS engineers noted the award follows a formal bid process and the project will expand broadband and cellular service.
The Bedford County Board of Commissioners voted on Oct. 14, 2025, to accept Cottle’s Asphalt, Inc. as the low bidder on the Bedford County Broadband Infrastructure project.
ATCS engineer Husam Obeid described the bid process and the recommendation from ATCS, and Commissioner Winck commented that it was positive to see a local firm receive the contract. Commissioner Baughman asked how the current bid differed from a prior solicitation that had received no bids; Obeid said different procurement processes were used previously. The board approved the motion (mover: Commissioner Baughman; seconder: Commissioner Winck). A pre‑construction meeting was announced, and ATCS will return with construction updates; the primary purpose of the project is to expand broadband service and improve cellular service for residents.
No vote tallies were recorded in the minutes; the motion was recorded as approved.
