Christian County approves emergency trailer purchase, renews resurfacing bids and awards Holder Road tree services
Loading...
Summary
The Christian County Commission approved renewal of the countywide road resurfacing and aggregates bid to multiple vendors and awarded a Holder Road tree trimming contract; the Highway Department additionally proceeded with an emergency purchase of a trailer from Sancrest Sales after a statutory posting error canceled the original bid.
During its March 12 session, the Christian County Commission approved procurement actions brought forward by Highway Administrator Miranda Beadles and Purchasing Manager Kim Hopkins-Will.
Hopkins-Will told the commission an initial bid for an equipment trailer failed to comply with statute because it was not posted in a local paper; the bid was canceled. Because the Highway Department had an immediate need, staff triggered Emergency Procurement No. 2026-2 and proceeded to purchase an equipment trailer from Sancrest Sales for $17,400.00. The minutes record the discussion of the emergency procurement but do not show a separate roll-call motion or vote recorded alongside that description.
The commission approved renewal of ITB #2025-2 Countywide Road Resurfacing & Aggregates, awarding the renewal to multiple vendors: APAC-Central, Inc.; Blevins Asphalt Construction Company, Inc.; Capital Materials, LLC; Capital Paving & Construction, LLC; Clever Stone Company; Huff Asphalt & Sealing, LLC; TRAC Materials, Inc.; and Vance Brothers, Inc. Western Commissioner Johnny Williams moved the renewal and Eastern Commissioner Bradley A. Jackson seconded; the vote was unanimous.
For ITB #2026-5 (Holder Road Tree Trimming & Removal Services), the commission awarded the contract to Hodges Tree Trimming, LLC. Eastern Commissioner Bradley A. Jackson moved the award and Western Commissioner Johnny Williams seconded; all three commissioners voted yes.
The minutes do not record contract amounts or start dates for the resurfacing renewals or the Holder Road tree work beyond identifying the awarded firms. The meeting adjourned at 9:30 a.m.
