The clerk opened bids for Cole County's 2026 asphalt overlay program, Project 2026-501-1, and read aloud contractor proposals, including a base bid of $825,872.19 from Higgins Asphalt and a $50,140.68 bid from the City of Lohman.
The clerk also recorded a $253,274.90 bid from the Village of Orangeville. For Jefferson Asphalt the record shows a base bid of $789,998.40. A later line in the transcript that references the City of Lohman appears garbled; the audio/record shows a figure rendered as $59,091.84 but the segment is unclear and may not accurately reflect the official bid tabulation.
After completing the asphalt overlay bids the clerk announced the opening of bids for the 2026 chip seal program, Project 2026-502-1. Missouri Petroleum was recorded with a base bid of $499,327.12 and an Alternate 1 bid of $44,253.30. Vance Brothers' bids were read as a base bid of $627,299.58 and an Alternate 1 bid of $59,741.96; the bid amounts were spoken across multiple short segments in the transcript but are recorded here as read aloud by the clerk.
No motions, votes, or awards were made on the record during the bid opening. The clerk closed the session of readings with brief remarks, saying, "Thank you all for coming, and I will get things worked up."
