Bracken County court awards paving and excavator bids, approves transfers and vendor claims
Summary
The fiscal court awarded a $193,323 paving contract to HG Maze and approved a $74,739 Kubota excavator purchase, then voted to transfer funds to cover those bids and approved multiple budget transfers and vendor claims.
The Bracken County Fiscal Court approved two vendor procurement actions and a set of budget transfers at its meeting.
The court recommended and voted to accept HG Maze Corporation's low bid for paving work on Piranha Road and Ford’s Avenue, approving the May bid for $193,323. Later the court reviewed mini-excavator bids from multiple dealers and accepted the recommendation to purchase a Kubota at $74,739 after discussion of specifications and warranties.
Members discussed that state reimbursements for earlier projects have not yet arrived and that county cash balances may not reflect pending reimbursements. The court approved motions to transfer funds to cover the paving and equipment bids and recorded unanimous roll-call votes on general fund, road fund and dispatch/911 transfers as well as multiple vendor-claim approvals across funds.
The court also noted upcoming procurement actions: notices for rock and fuel bids will be posted June 18. No new local borrowing or grant match was authorized in these items; the board voted to document transfers and include the actions in the minutes for audit trail purposes.
Court members emphasized local vendor continuity when discussing equipment dealers and the county’s practice of reusing known contractors. The votes were recorded by roll call with recorded 'yes' votes from attending members.
