Henry County accepts multiple asphalt pickup bids to ensure availability and pricing
Summary
Fiscal Court accepted pickup bids from Hinkle ($81.50/ton), Mago (about $83/ton) and Shelbyville Asphalt to allow flexibility in plant pickup costs and availability for paving projects.
Judge/Executive Scott Bates told the Court the county accepted Hinkle's laid‑blacktop bid but needed to accept pickup bids from multiple producers to account for transportation costs and plant availability. The minutes record Hinkle’s pickup price at $81.50 per ton and Mago and Shelbyville Asphalt at about $83 per ton; on motion by Esq. Brad Fisher and second by Esq. Kevin McManis the Court accepted bids from all three vendors.
Road Committee discussion earlier in the meeting noted areas needing repair before Hinkle's paving work and an ongoing need for part‑time help to support right‑of‑way mowing and related tasks. The acceptance of multiple pickup bids aims to provide flexibility when Hinkle is not producing blacktop or when transportation distances make other plants more economical.
