Grant County fiscal court approved the bid committee’s recommendations July 21 for nine road projects and endorsed contracting with the low bidders where applicable.
The court heard that Mago Construction submitted the lowest bids on multiple roads at various tonnage rates discussed during the bid opening. The judge said the bids closed at 4 p.m. the previous day and that road supervisor Joe Gordon had reviewed the bids and supported awarding the work to Mago. Magistrate Humphrey moved to approve the bid committee recommendations for the county road department; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Commissioners noted other bidders’ prices for comparison, including Rigler and Eaton Asphalt, and discussed historical work by Mago Construction in surrounding counties. The transcript records praise for Mago’s work quality but does not include a signed contract or dollar totals for the full package; the court authorized proceeding with the recommendations and directed the road department to proceed with contract administration.
