Court awards Counts Road contract to Smith Paving; additive alternate to Rebel Contractors
Summary
For Counts Road (Precinct 4), the court approved a base contract to Smith Paving (low bid ~$1.102M) and an additive base alternate to Rebel Contractors ($646,800) to increase pavement depth; commissioners required GLO approval for the arrangement and voted 5-0.
The commissioners reviewed the Counts Road bids (two bidders) and voted to award the base contract to Smith Paving at approximately $1.102 million and to accept an additive alternate for extra base work from Rebel Contractors at $646,800. Commissioners discussed budget limits, potential change orders and the practicality of splitting base work between contractors; staff indicated the GLO must approve contract structure and alternates before work begins.
"I'm going to award the bid to Smith and then award the alternate to Rebel," the judge summarized during the motion; after discussion about change orders and budget availability the court approved the motion 5'0. Commissioners noted they expect to limit initial work to available project funds and to manage change orders when additional funds are available.
