Cooper and Godsey roads slated for improvements

Cooper and Godsey Roads are the latest Butts County roads set to be resurfaced with help from supplemental funds from a Georgia Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant (LMIG). The Butts County Board of Commissioners approved a $981,892 bit from Blunt Construction as the vendor for these projects during its Monday, Oct. 26 meeting. Two-thirds of the project will be funded by LMIG and the remainder will come from capital funds. Butts County Public Works Director Joey Lowe said these projects will begin in late February or early March when the weather is more conducive. Lowe requested and received permission not to award the projects to the low bidder, MHB Paving, due to numerous issues with the company’s service on recent road improvement projects in the county. MHB Paving projects in Butts County were found to have the following problems: ♦ Pavement edges were not straight and were inconsistent throughout multiple sections. ♦ Finished pavement was uneven in multiple locations, and several areas exhibited poor workmanship and required additional attention. ♦ Gravel was not installed at numerous mailbox locations following paving operations. ♦ Several driveway aprons were not paved to the required two feet beyond the edge of the pavement. ♦
