Chavers Construction Inc. was awarded the bid, which totaled $376,795.50. Civil Southeast Engineering Group of Andalusia presented the bid tabulation and resolution.

Civil Southeast Project Manager Jeremy McMath, who presented the bid to the council, said he received eight different bids ranging from the lowest bid — Chavers Construction — to $557,461.90.

The available funds for the project was $415,000, he said.

In other business, the council:

• approved to apply for airport improvement funding assitance from ALDOT;

• approved the transfer of a liquor license from Spuds to Circle K; and,

• approved to pay the bills.
