Summary
A contract with Nixon General Contractors for Big Creek Park Phase 2B (Jones Boyd Trail Development) was recommended for approval; county engineering described converting Jones Boyd Road into a service road and bike trail connecting Raleigh Millington Road to Singleton Parkway.
Shelby County’s public‑works committee recommended approval of a construction contract with Nixon General Contractors, Inc. for Big Creek Park Phase 2B (Jones Boyd Trail Development) under a National Disaster Resilience Competition grant. The award is for $2,438,411 with an extra‑work allowance of $243,841.10 for a total not to exceed $2,682,252.10, to be paid with FY2026 HUD funds.
Chris Mason of Shelby County Engineering described the project as "the conversion of the Jones Boyd Road into a service road and bike trail" that will connect Raleigh Millington Road to Singleton Parkway; administration recommended approval and the committee voted 4–0 to forward the item to the full commission with a favorable recommendation.
Why it matters: the project is grant‑funded and advances active‑transportation infrastructure in Shelby County; contractors and construction timelines will be set after final award and contract execution.
