Mills County opens three bids for County Road 189 culvert project; award postponed
Summary
Clerks opened three bids for the County Road 189 box culvert project (approximately $219,828 to $278,000). Commissioners read the proposals but did not award a contract; the court tabled final action until staff and the award committee review the bids.
Mills County commissioners opened sealed bids May 11 for the County Road 189 box culvert project and read three proposals into the record. The bids received included Carlisle Finson & Dozer Service ($278,000), Gage & Cave Construction ($227,310) and a $219,828 lump-sum bid from Myers/Byers Concrete.
Commissioners took the bids for review; no award was made. The court agreed that Commissioner Parton and Commissioner Port will review the documents and present a recommendation at the next commissioners court meeting. Following a procedural question later in the meeting, the court voted to formally table final action on the bid award until that follow-up presentation.
The public may expect the county to post a recommendation and any contract award after commissioners review proposed scopes and pricing at an upcoming session. Commissioners emphasized the condition of County Road 189 and the need to move on repairs while confirming that the formal award will await staff review and committee recommendation.
