Talbot County council approves Habitat support letter and awards road-material bids
Summary
Council authorized a letter of support for Choptank Habitat for Humanity’s operating assistance grant application and approved awards for two roads-material bids: bid 2602 to Vulcan Construction Materials Co. ($45.50/ton, $136,500) and bid 2603 to Slurry Pavers Inc. (per-gallon rates quoted); council said no county funds are required for the Habitat grant.
During the county manager’s report, the council heard from James Adair representing Choptank Habitat for Humanity, who requested a letter of support for an application to the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development for an operating assistance grant to support weatherization, roof repairs and accessibility improvements. Council moved and approved a letter of support; staff noted no county funds are required for the request.
The roads department requested approval to award bid 2602 (washed aggregate) to Vulcan Construction Materials Company at a unit price of $45.50 per ton for a total bid of $136,500; funding of $174,000 is available in the budget. Council approved the award. The roads department also recommended awarding bid 2603 (emulsified asphalt with polymer) to Slurry Pavers Inc. at the low quoted per-gallon price; council approved that award as well.
These procurement approvals will enable planned road resurfacing and maintenance work in the coming season. The county manager thanked staff and community partners for their work.
