Commissioners approve $525,462 PO for Stafford Road tar-and-chip after president recused

After President J. Travis Breeding recused himself from the action agenda and left the room, the board considered PO 2027-0133: a recommendation to award a contract for tar-and-chip work on Stafford Road to Richard Breeding Excavating Inc. for $525,462.15.

County staff said the procurement followed an RFP, two bids were received, and the recommended contractor was the lowest responsive bidder. The motion to approve the PO was moved and seconded; commissioners called for the vote and approved the PO. The transcript records the president excusing himself prior to the discussion and procurement vote; staff did not report any subsequent amendments or conditions attached to the award.

The item will proceed to procurement and construction scheduling under the county's capital projects program. No additional funding action was recorded during the vote at the meeting.
