County awards asphalt contracts, hears road maintenance and staffing report

Lubbock County Commissioners Court · April 27, 2026

Summary

The Commissioners Court approved multi-awards for asphalt mixes and heard the County Road Department report on open work orders, staffing vacancies, a $22,340.40 repair cost, and progress on a silcoat program and Timber Ridge closeout.

The Commissioners Court approved a multi-award for ITB 260302 for annual asphalt mixes for the remainder of fiscal year 2026. Purchasing staff recommended multi-awards to Blades Group LLC, West Industries and West Texas Paving Inc., and the court approved the awards.

County road staff then reported staffing needs (open positions for an equipment operator I, truck driver and mechanic), a count of open work orders across unpaved and paved roads and parks, and a recent repair expense of $22,340.40 for a distributor repair. Staff described silcoat (surface treatment) testing and production runs and said crews are aiming to complete the program depending on upcoming rain. Timber Ridge closeout work was reported on schedule to finish this week.

Commissioners thanked staff for responsiveness and progress on maintenance programs and for coordinating with the city on shared roads.
