Kaufman County commissioners on April 21 awarded bid 2026-002 for the Lower East Fork Lateral Site No. 2 to Beavers Contracting and authorized the county judge to execute the contract after legal review.

"I recommend the award to Beavers Contracting and request authorization for the county to sign the contract once legal completes their record," she said.
The court approved the award by voice vote.
