Nearly twenty-eight miles of roads in Bulloch County are on the list for resurfacing with LMIG and TSPLOST funding.
County Engineer Brad Deal told commissioners Monday night that the county received additional funds it was not anticipating, allowing for additional paving of roads for this fiscal year..
The contract approved Monday includes the resurfacing of almost 28 miles of already paved roads in need of maintenance and/or improvements.
Sealed bids were received on July 25, 2024 and the contract was ultimately awarded to the low bidder, Reeves Construction, which met all requirements of the County’s bid specifications. The company has handled a number of other Bulloch County resurfacing projects in the past..
The County Engineer’s cost estimate for the project (base bid plus two add alternates) was $6,722,724.50. Because the low bid is below the estimated amount, the county engineer recommends including the two add alternates, for a total contract amount of $6,035,585.00 with Reeves Construction.
As mentioned, the projects will be funded utilizing $1,792,651.04 in LMIG funding, $2,220,281.32 in Supplemental LMIG funding, and $2,022,652.64 in TSPLOST funding.
Staff recommended approval and commissioners voted unanimously to approve.
