The Long County Board on Oct. 7 awarded the 2025 TSPLOST Road Resurfacing and Improvement Project to Georgia Asphalt Producers, Inc., for $323,950.16, covering 0.62 miles of Hill Street (between Buster Phillips Road and Old Macon Darien Road) and the Hoffer Lane cul-de-sac.
Commissioner Gerald Blocker moved to award the low bid; the motion passed 4-0. The minutes show sealed bids were opened Aug. 26, 2025, and that Georgia Asphalt Producers submitted the lowest responsive bid.
Separately, Road Superintendent Madison Smith presented a quote from LED Lighting Solutions to install LED stop signs and amber caution lights at several high-risk intersections (Palmer Road, Elim Church Road, Barrett Cemetery Road, Horse Creek Road, Macedonia Road, George Swindell Road and Lee Place Road). The purchase was proposed to be paid from TSPLOST funds. Commissioner John Reddish moved to approve the purchase and installation as presented; Commissioner Blocker seconded and the motion passed 4-0.
The minutes record estimated warranty and turnaround for an unrelated vehicle repair but do not specify installation timelines or exact TSPLOST project codes for the LED signage; funding is identified as coming from TSPLOST.
