The Heard County Board of Commissioners on March 17 awarded C.W. Matthews a $1,156,869 contract to pave Hollingsworth Ferry Road, approved a separate $861,050 asphalt resurfacing contract and authorized a $20,559.72 Kubota purchase for arena operations; each measure passed unanimously.
Heard County commissioners unanimously awarded a $1,156,869 contract to C.W. Matthews for paving improvements on Hollingsworth Ferry Road and approved a separate $861,050 contract for asphalt resurfacing on multiple county roads at their March 17 meeting.
The board said Georgia Power agreed to contribute about $1.2 million toward the Hollingsworth Ferry project. Commissioner James Perry moved to award the paving contract to C.W. Matthews; Commissioner Larry Hammond seconded, and the motion passed with a unanimous vote from the commissioners present.
County leaders also reviewed bids for arena operations equipment and approved the lowest Kubota bid at $20,559.72. Chairman Tracy McCormick told the board the previously discussed Gator model was confirmed as a 2025 model, which the board said accounts for price differences between vendors. The purchase was approved on a motion by Commissioner Perry and seconded by Commissioner Hammond, with a unanimous vote.
Each award was approved by recorded motion and second; the board instructed county staff to proceed with contract execution and normal procurement follow‑up. The contracts do not include additional details on timelines or start dates in the public transcript.
The board handled these items under Agenda Item 5, and all votes were unanimous.
