County reports DOT maintenance grant and notes lowest bid for local resurfacing project
Summary
County officials announced a local maintenance and improvement grant for asphalt resurfacing and reported three bids: the presentation named Colt's Trucking as lowest, Caldwell Construction at $1,987,071.09 and C.W. Matthews at $1,724,442.37 in the transcript; the city of Blair will reimburse the county after acceptance and completion.
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.
The item was presented as part of routine agenda business rather than a contested award. Commissioners noted the bid results and described the reimbursement arrangement with the city; the transcript does not record a motion to award or a vote in the excerpt. Public-works and finance staff follow-up would be required to confirm the apparent low bidder and contract execution.
