Staff says 24.654 miles resurfaced under Rebuild Alabama program; county to receive about $1.7 million annually going forward
Summary
A county staff presentation listed roughly 24.654 miles resurfaced using Rebuild Alabama funds, named contractors Miss Out Paving and Ozarks Traffic, noted nearly $4 million in resurfacing/strap work for the fiscal year and an expected annual allocation around $1.7 million going forward; some cross-drain and County Road 95 work remains ongoing.
A Houston County staff member delivered the annual Rebuild Alabama contractor's report, listing the roads resurfaced last year (including portions of Olive County Line Road, Prairie Folks Road, East Oak Road, Bryce Road, North Broad Street, Bluff Springs Road and County Road 9 South) and stating the total resurfaced mileage as 24.654 miles. The presenter named the contractors used—Miss Out Paving and Ozarks Traffic—and described nearly $4,000,000 in resurfacing and striping work for the fiscal year; the presenter also said the county expects a recurring annual allocation of about $1,700,000 going forward.
The presenter noted most rebuild-funded roads may not meet traffic thresholds for permanent striping and that the county performs some striping in-house, which staff estimated is considerably cheaper than contracting for striping. The transcript also recorded discussion about a remaining cross-drain replacement and ongoing work on County Road 95. Commissioners thanked staff for the crew work; no formal vote was required beyond approving the report.
