Summary

Commissioners approved authorization to advertise an RFP for resurfacing about 4,500 feet of County Road 4181, asking bidders to price three overlay options (quick set/quick set overlay, asphalt overlay, or coal-seal overlay).

Newton County commissioners approved a request to advertise a request for proposals to resurface approximately 4,500 feet of County Road 4181 and asked bidders to provide prices for three surface options.

The county representative explained the procurement will solicit bids for: a quick-set overlay, an asphalt overlay, or a coal-seal overlay, and staff said funds for the work are available in the requesting department's budget, so no budget amendment is required.

Commissioner Benson moved to authorize the RFP; Commissioner White seconded and the court approved the motion.

Why it matters: resurfacing will affect local travel, maintenance budgets and the long-term condition of a county road. Asking for multiple overlay options lets the county compare costs and expected longevity before awarding the contract.

Next steps: Staff will advertise the request for proposals, receive bids, open them publicly and return to the court for award and contracting decisions.
