Board awards $899,726 LMIG Phase II contract for Alvaton Road to C.W. Matthews
Summary
Bids for Alvaton Road came in between $899,726 and $1,062,262; the Board accepted C.W. Matthews' low bid of $899,726 to complete the 5.5‑mile Alvaton Road project, citing engineering recommendation and available LRA funds.
Meriwether County commissioners awarded the 2026 LMIG Phase II contract for Alvaton Road to C.W. Matthews on July 13. County Administrator John Gorton reported bids ranged from $899,726.00 (C.W. Matthews) to $1,062,262.50 (McLeroy, Inc.), and engineering recommended awarding to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, C.W. Matthews.
Gorton said the award would allow completion of the entire 5.5‑mile Alvaton Road project under a single contract; funding would come from remaining 2024 and 2026 LRA funds with an estimated Fund Balance contribution of $94,000 if required, though staff expected the project to come in under budget based on the bid. Vice Chairman Jennifer Snelson moved to award the contract to C.W. Matthews for $899,726.00, Commissioner Gene King seconded, and the Board voted unanimously to proceed.
