Carlisle County approves road rock and paving contracts, selects local fuel vendor
Summary
The Carlisle County fiscal court accepted bids for rock beds and awarded paving work to Smith Contracting, approved a local fuel vendor, and authorized surplus and routine road maintenance items during a regular meeting.
The Carlisle County Fiscal Court voted to accept bids for road materials and paving work and approved a local fuel vendor during its regular meeting.
The court reviewed quotes for four rock beds and compared unit prices from BlackRock, DGA, Vulcan and others. Chair led the discussion on pricing and recommended accepting BlackRock and B and M Trucking for the county’s rock-bed supply. A motion to accept BlackRock and B and M Trucking was made, seconded and carried by voice vote.
Commissioners then reviewed asphalt bids. Smith Contracting was identified as the lowest bidder on a listed asphalt item; the court moved to accept Smith Contracting for the county’s paving needs and approved the motion by voice vote.
The court also reviewed bulk fuel and off-road diesel quotes. A local vendor, Southern FS, was discussed and commissioners favored staying local for ease of service; the court approved the proposed local vendor arrangement by voice vote.
Members discussed related roadwork: grader activity, a washed-out shoulder on McPherson’s Road, and a small hole reported on route 1323 near a private driveway. Staff said crews will dig and address the problem and continue routine grading and shoulder repairs.
The court’s approvals were routine, conducted as voice votes with motions and seconds; no recorded roll-call tallies were provided in the transcript. The court also authorized surplusing older equipment and directed staff to include a listed vehicle in a future surplus bid ad.
The court moved on to other agenda items after the procurement approvals.
