The Heard County Board of Commissioners on April 27 accepted two roadwork contracts: a low bid of $794,323 from C.W. Matthews for asphalt resurfacing and a separate surface‑treatment contract from Everett Dykes for $170,764.77.

Chairman Lee Boone presented four bids for asphalt resurfacing requested by county staff (Darold Wiggins). Bids were: C.W. Matthews $794,323.00 (low), ER Snell $898,117.40, Blount $954,996.61, and Baldwin $984,117.95. On motion by Commissioner Larry Hammond and second by Commissioner Larry Hooks, the Board unanimously accepted the low bid from C.W. Matthews.

One bid for surface treatment was received from Everett Dykes for $170,764.77. On motion by Commissioner Larry Hooks and second by Commissioner Larry Hammond, the Board unanimously accepted that bid.

The meeting record notes the bids were within budget, but it does not list which specific county roads will be resurfaced or include contract documents in the transcript. County staff follow standard procurement and contracting processes for final award paperwork and project scheduling.
