At its November 2, 2026 regular meeting, the Sampson County Board of Commissioners received NCDOT updates on road maintenance and paving work, including active and planned resurfacing, rumble-strip, and pavement-preservation contracts. NCDOT reported that a contract covering 32 miles of paving is planned, and that another contract had been advertised for several county roads. County water-project updates included bidding for Calamity Area Phase Two planned for January 2027, with other waterline projects to be advertised after design and regulatory approvals. No road or water construction contract awards were presented at this meeting.

The board approved acceptance of a $150,000 grant for a county asset assessment, including execution of the funding documents and adoption of a resolution. It also approved an amendment related to the county’s broadband grant with BrightSpeed, authorizing use of $400,000 in ARPA funds as the county match by December 31, 2026; BrightSpeed reported more than $1.87 million in eligible matching expenditures to date. The HR director discussed workforce vacancies, compensation, benefits vendors, and Tyler Technologies process improvements, but no related purchasing action was taken. Other agenda discussion included NCDOT safety work and public comments; no additional procurement decisions were identified.
