Commissioners award multiple road-construction bids totaling millions
Summary
Harrison County awarded several road-construction contracts on March 14, 2023, including a $954,833.25 award for Old Town Road and other projects awarded to Reynolds & Kaye and Rayford's Truck & Tractor; commissioners noted limited bidders on some projects.
During the March 14 session the court reviewed purchasing recommendations and awarded several road-construction bids covering County Roads 1030, 1202, 3502, 3542, 4311 and 4103.
Key awards included Bid 2023-02 for Old Town Road to Rayford's Truck & Tractor for $954,833.25 and smaller awards for Mount Pleasant Cutoff and Macedonia Road to Rayford's. Reynolds & Kaye received awards for 5 Notch Road ($411,334.83) and Page Road (approximately $376,804.46). Commissioners discussed outreach to potential bidders and noted only two bidders responded on some items; the motion records show one award recorded as passing 4-1 and other awards passed unanimously.
Purchasing staff advised that letters of recommendation accompanied the bids and that the awards followed the purchasing agent's recommendations. The court approved each contract award and instructed staff to proceed with procurement steps for contract execution.
