Madison County reads sealed bids for trucking services; Mason and Sons lists $130 hourly rate
Summary
Madison County commissioners opened sealed bids for trucking services. Mason and Sons Dumpsters LLC submitted hourly truck rates (truck 1: $130, truck 2: $130, truck 3: $125). A second bid listed $14.7 per ton and $125 hourly rates for each truck.
Madison County commissioners opened a sealed-bid packet for county trucking services at the start of their meeting. A staff member read the bid from Mason and Sons Dumpsters LLC, which listed hourly rates of $130 for truck one, $130 for truck two and $125 for truck three.
A second bid read into the record (transcript entry identifies the bidder as "Melvin Stone Amen") reported a price of $14.7 per ton and hourly truck rates of $125 for trucks one through three. The bids were entered and read for the record as part of the sealed-bid opening.
Commissioners discussed the wider budget context, noting that fuel costs have risen substantially (a participant observed roughly a 40% increase year-over-year) and that higher fuel costs are driving up road-maintenance expenses. The board did not award a contract at the meeting; the bids were recorded for later review and consideration.
