Commissioners Court - November 10, 2026, at 10:00 AM

The Polk County Commissioners Court met on November 10, 2026. Procurement and project discussions included a status update on C&J Contractors’ bridge work: the bonding company has assigned a representative after a material supplier filed a claim against the payment bond, and the contractor submitted a schedule extending through March and a September–October payment request that county staff is holding pending further review. The Court also approved advertising Bid 2027-12 for paving services on various county roads, and approved engineering and restoration work for the Batty building; Clifton Thomas provided a quote of $36,100 for plans and engineering, with an RFP also discussed. For a district attorney’s office remodel, the Court approved the auditor’s recommendation following review of three bids and planned a budget transfer to the DA’s line item.

The Court approved the county’s $5 million Texas General Land Office disaster-recovery award for Indian Springs under Contract 27-043-011-F950, with a $250,000 county match and a total project cost of $5.25 million; reimbursements are tied to project benchmarks, and the contract runs through November 30, 2029, subject to possible extension. The Court also approved a recycling cooperation agreement and appointed a scoring committee for a grant-funded commercial driver’s license training and examination center. Addenda of approximately $41,999 for FY2026 and $377,195 for FY2027 were approved. TxDOT’s I-69 work was presented as an informational update; no procurement action was reported on that item.
