Commissioners approve road contract, radio‑network study and other procurement items

The Commissioners Court approved several procurement actions during its meeting. County staff reported a single responsive bid for RFP 2026‑05 (hot‑mix cold‑lay road work) from Reynolds Asphalt and recommended award; a motion to award RFP 2026‑05 to Reynolds was made by Commissioner Andrews, seconded by Commissioner Wilson, and carried.

The court also authorized a professional services agreement with Federal Engineering for a P25 radio‑network analysis at a firm fixed price of $84,886. Staff described the project scope as a radio‑network analysis to inform five tax/project areas and recommended authorization for the county judge to sign the agreement; the motion (amended by Commissioner Samuelson) carried.

Additionally, the court approved a vending‑services agreement with Live Oak to provide vending at the Justice Center at no cost to the county, and authorized other consent‑agenda procurement items with no recorded opposition.

A county road‑operations staff member told the court the single bid and the pricing were fair and reasonable, leading to the recommendation to award the road contract to Reynolds Asphalt. Commissioners approved the listed procurement items as presented.
