Procurement actions included approval to solicit construction bids for pavement rehabilitation on Croco Road and approval of a three-year extension of the traffic-signal contract with J. Warren Company. Commissioners awarded Martin Marietta contract C206373 for up to 5,000 tons of sand at $15.50 per ton (about $77,500), noting a roughly 20% price increase. They also discussed an $8.6 million, sales-tax-funded bridge deck replacement and painting project and a request to approve its budget and solicit bids; the transcript does not clearly capture the vote.
