Court awards $76,535 FEMA guardrail repair bid after scope questions
Summary
The court awarded bid 2026‑10 for FEMA DR‑4879 guardrail repairs to Roy Jorgensen Associates, Inc. for $76,535. Commissioners discussed scope limits tied to TDEM/FEMA reimbursement and whether pre‑existing damage would be county responsibility.
The Commissioners Court voted to award bid number 2026‑10 — FEMA guardrail repairs tied to disaster recovery project DR‑4879 — to Roy Jorgensen Associates, Inc. for $76,535 and authorized the county judge to execute the contract pending final legal approval.
Procurement staff explained the bid included guardrail and related concrete repair scopes derived from TDEM/FEMA project scopes; staff said only work that falls within the FEMA/TDEM scope is eligible for reimbursement. A commissioner asked about locations — notably an Edge Falls bridge where curbing rather than guardrails exists — and whether pre‑existing deterioration would be covered or would require separate county funding. Staff said any work beyond the FEMA/TDEM scope would have to be billed separately and paid by the county if the court elected to add it.
Staff recommended awarding to Roy Jorgensen Associates based on the bid response and prior satisfactory work; the court approved the award (motion carries 5–0). Procurement staff offered to review project binders with any commissioner who wanted more detail on the scope of work for particular bridge locations.
