County reports DOT maintenance grant and notes lowest bid for local resurfacing project

Commissioner Harold Collins read multiple consent items including notification of a local maintenance and improvement grant for asphalt resurfacing through the Georgia Department of Transportation. The commission was told three bids were received for the project; the transcript identifies Caldwell Construction at $1,987,071.09 and C.W. Matthews at $1,724,442.37 and states that Colt's Trucking was the lowest bidder (the transcript does not include a dollar amount for Colt's in the excerpt). Collins said that once the city of Blair accepts the bid and the work is completed, the city will reimburse Union County for its share.
