Chattooga County Sole Commissioner Andy Allen has announced that the county is accepting sealed bids for a major road resurfacing project that will improve more than 18.5 miles of county roads through funding provided by the Georgia Department of Transportation’s Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant (LMIG) and Local Road Assistance (LRA) programs.

According to the bid notice, contractors are being asked to submit proposals for the labor required to resurface 18.54 miles of roadways throughout Chattooga County. The county will furnish the asphalt materials through Blount Construction, while bidders are required to submit pricing based on a per-ton cost for asphalt placement, a per-gallon cost for tack, and provide a total project cost.
