Public works recommends awarding $1.13 million road contract to Allied Paving

Robert, Dawson County’s public works director, presented three bids for full-depth reclamation on Elliot Road and resurfacing work on Sunset Drive and Ruby Lane and said staff and program manager BMMK recommend awarding the contract to the low bidder, Allied Paving Contractors, for $1,127,549 with a 5% county contingency of $56,377.

Robert said Elliot Road work (4,640 feet) will be funded from the SPLOST T category and that resurfacing of Sunset and Ruby would be funded from SPLOST 7 because those roads were not listed in the T SPLOST project list. Commissioners asked about Allied Paving’s history; Robert referenced prior projects including Dawsonville’s Maple Street FDR and some private development work and pointed board members to backup materials in the packet for verification.

Staff requested the board accept the bids and award the contract; the recorded segments show the recommendation and discussion but do not include a recorded formal vote on the award in the provided transcript excerpt.
