Dawson County commissioners on June 4 approved awards for IFB 495-26 for road rehabilitations and culvert replacements, accepting staff recommendations to distribute work across multiple contractors and funding sources.
The county recommended awarding the package to Blount Construction for $1,556,231.69 (task allocation described by staff) with a 10% county contingency (approximately $155,623), and awarding tasks 3a and 3b to Allied Paving for $1,108,520 with a 10% contingency (approximately $110,852). Staff said the work would be funded using LMIG and SPLOST 7. A commissioner moved to accept the bids and award the contracts as presented; the motion was seconded and the board approved the awards.
During the motion the board confirmed funding sources and the presence of standard 10% contingencies to cover unanticipated costs. The board did not provide a roll-call vote tally in the transcript for this item, but the chair announced the awards as approved.
The contracts move planned rehabilitation and culvert work forward on county roads; staff will manage contract execution under county procurement and construction policies.
