Supervisors accept rock resurfacing bid

At the Feb. 27 meeting of the Clarke County Board of Supervisors, the supervisors approved the farm to market rock resurfacing project bid of contract for project #FM-CO20(128)—55-20.

The single, sealed bid submitted to the supervisors was from Schildberg Construction Co. Inc. of Greenfield. The bid total came in at $505,584.00, and was for granular surfacing on roads classes D and class A, crushed stone.

The breakdown of the bid was:

Class D crushed stone in the quantity of 8,610 tons at $23.65, total amount $203,626.50

Class D crushed stone in the quantity of 2,470 tons at $24.45, total amount $60,391.50

Class D crushed stone in the quantity of 2,730 tons at $24.45, total amount $66,748.50

Class A crushed stone in the quantity of 7,150 tons at $24.45, total amount $174,817.50

The final bid amount included the material and hauling.

“[It’s] slightly higher than our engineer estimate, but only a couple thousand away, so I recommend we go forward on this,” said Clarke County Engineer Christian Boehmer of the bid. Last year’s accepted bid from Schildberg included an additional Class A road, with a total bid amount of $539,366.50.

The supervisors approved the bid 3-0.
