Commissioner's Court Meeting 3 17 2026

The Gregg County Commissioners' Court held a regular meeting on March 17, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were addressed. The court approved payroll, fund transfers, bills payable, budget amendments, and budget transfer requests. They also approved a $15,000 allocation for additional overtime. Significant procurement actions included approving a city road material and labor project for Lake Jones Road, and authorizing Tri Road Special Utilities District to install water mains within Green Hill Road and Skinner Lane rights-of-way. The court approved the recommendation of a selection committee to evaluate and negotiate a contract for engineering services related to the county's 2025-26 Texas Community Development Block Grant Program. Additionally, the court awarded RFP 2026-2 for a general contractor to construct the new Precinct 2 Justice Facility to Noble Construction, a local vendor, for $2,591,370, applying local vendor preference under Texas law. Several proclamations recognizing community groups were also approved, but these did not involve procurement.
