Court awards 2025 sealcoat contract to Bryer's Paving despite higher bid for faster completion
Summary
Hemphill County awarded the 2025 sealcoat contract to Bryer's Paving, LLC; commissioners chose Bryer's bid over a lower bid because Bryer's estimated completion time was 45 days versus 90 days, with a $2,320 higher cost.
The Hemphill County Commissioners' Court on March 10 approved Bryer's Paving, LLC for the county's 2025 sealcoat work.
Commissioner Dawn Webb moved to award the contract to Bryer's Paving, noting the company's bid was $2,320 higher than the lowest bid but offered a shorter completion time—45 days instead of 90. Commissioner Dale Schafer seconded the motion and it carried without opposition.
The minutes do not list the low bidder's name or the total contract amount; the court recorded only the $2,320 difference and the faster completion time as factors in its decision.
