Tunica County awards paving contract to Lehman Roberts Company
Summary
The Tunica County Board of Supervisors accepted the low bid from Lehman Roberts Company for a county paving project after opening three competitive bids; the award was approved by motion at the April 29 meeting.
The Tunica County Board of Supervisors voted April 29 to award a county paving contract to Lehman Roberts Company after bids were opened earlier in the week.
An agency official (S3) told the board that three firms — Lehman Roberts Company, Murphy Pavin and Falcon Contracting Company — submitted competitive bids and that Lehman Roberts was the low bidder. “Lehman Roberts was the low bidder,” S3 said, adding that the bids were “really tight competitive bids, 3 hungry bidders.” The official recommended accepting the low bid; the recommendation was moved and approved by the board.
The county opened the bids Monday and the board’s acceptance of the low bidder will allow the project to proceed. The presenter also said the unexpectedly low bids may permit the county to do “a little bit more paving with our money.” The board did not state a contract dollar amount in the public record at the meeting.
The award was approved by voice vote after a motion and second; the board recorded no roll-call tallies in the transcript. The county’s public works updates at the same meeting noted related paving work on nearby sections, and officials said a separate bridge project on Highway 61 is scheduled for paving next week.
The board’s action authorizes staff to proceed with contract award and subsequent administrative steps for project implementation.
