Burke County commissioners unanimously approved a contract award to Reeves Construction for the county's LMIG/LRA resurfacing project during the board's work session.
The resurfacing contract was the first action of the meeting and followed a staff report that Reeves submitted the low bid and could meet the required local match. County staff recommended awarding the county contract to Reeves Construction and noted another local jurisdiction, Sardis, will consider a similar award at its next meeting.
County staff summarized the LMIG (Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant) program funding and the LRA match requirement, explaining LMIG requires a 10% local match. Commissioner Nick made the motion to accept the LMIG and LRA funding and award the bid to Reeves Construction; Commissioner Lively seconded. The chair called for a vote and the board approved the award unanimously.
No further contingencies or amendments to the motion were recorded during the meeting.
The award directs staff to execute the contract documents with Reeves Construction and proceed with project scheduling and payment arrangements under the LMIG/LRA funding terms.
