Summary

The board received a single hot-mix bid (Milestone Contractors) and three liquid-asphalt bids from vendors; commissioners took the bids under advisement and made no award at the meeting.

On April 13 County Attorney James Shoaf read bids submitted for highway materials. Milestone Contractors of Columbus submitted the only hot-mix bid, with line-item per-ton prices for multiple mix types; no cold-mix bids were received. Three liquid-asphalt bids were read from Strawser Construction (dba Terry Materials), Asphalt Materials Inc., and Marathon Petroleum Co., each listing per-ton prices by product type.

Commissioner Tony London moved to take the hot-mix bid under advisement and Commissioner Kleinhenz seconded; the board also voted to take the liquid-asphalt bids under advisement. No awards were made at the meeting and no bid winner was selected. The transcript does not record further procurement schedule details or estimated quantities to be purchased.

Taking bids "under advisement" means the board received and recorded the bids but deferred any award decision to a later date; the record does not show whether a formal bid tabulation or additional review will occur before award.
