Macon County awards GW Norrell two FEMA bridge contracts totaling $764,000
Summary
Macon County commissioners accepted the county engineer's recommendation and awarded GW Norrell contracts for two FEMA bridge projects — CR67 ($347,000) and the Radar Station project ($417,000) — after opening competitive bids at a May 20 continuation meeting.
The Macon County Commission accepted the county engineer's recommendation on May 20, 2021, and awarded two FEMA bridge contracts to G W Norrell Contracting. Commissioner Magruder moved to accept the engineer's recommendation to award CR67 to GW Norrell for $347,000, and Commissioner Berry moved to accept the engineer's recommendation to award the Radar Station project to GW Norrell for $417,000; both motions carried unanimously.
The bids were opened publicly at the continuation meeting and included competing offers from Murphee Bridge Corp and Newell & Bush, Inc. for the two projects. The board asked the engineer to scrutinize the other bids before finalizing related project scheduling. The awards allow the county to move forward with FEMA-funded repair and replacement work on local bridges, projects identified earlier in FEMA Region IV outreach and in previous county engineer reports.
Commissioners said they intend to monitor contract execution and the engineer will return with timelines and mobilization details. The county recorded the awards as part of its May 20 continuation minutes and set related construction oversight and payment authorization to follow standard county procurement and FEMA guidance.
