Warren County commissioners accept $1.05 million bid from Reith Riley for road resurfacing

Warren County commissioners voted April 23 to accept a $1,052,247.23 bid from Reith Riley Construction to resurface segments of county roads under the Community Crossings Program, officials said.

The acceptance covers resurfacing work on multiple local segments, which a staff member read into the record as "1,000 West, Market, County Road 850, 1075, Independence Road, 800 West, 825 South and 1,000 West." The staff member said the county received two bids and that the Milestone bid was roughly $190,000 higher than Reith Riley's.

The motion to accept the Reith Riley bid was made during a short special meeting. A participant identified in the transcript as Robert was noted as the mover; another commissioner seconded the motion and the board approved it in a voice vote. The transcript records those present saying "I" in favor; the meeting did not record individual roll-call tallies.

Officials noted that the contracts are part of the Community Crossings Program and that acceptance requires signatures on an accompanying letter of acceptance. Staff confirmed the paperwork and both signatures were applied before the board adjourned.

The county did not provide a detailed project schedule, contract start date, or a complete breakdown of which segments will be resurfaced first; those details were not specified in the meeting record.

The special session concluded after the contract acceptance and the signing of the Community Crossings acceptance letter.
