Autauga County moved its FY 2026 road program into procurement on May 26, posting sealed-bid notices for concrete and concrete pipe work that can lead to road, culvert and drainage jobs across the county.

The county is taking bids for Inquiry 2026-07 Concrete and Inquiry 2026-08 Concrete Pipe, with sealed proposals due at the Autauga County Commission office, 135 North Court Street, Suite B, in Prattville. The public opening is scheduled after 10:00 a.m. Central Time on June 17, 2026. The advertisement says the work will be governed by the Rebuild Alabama Act and Alabama Code Title 39, the Alabama Public Works Law, and that only contractors or material suppliers on the Alabama Department of Transportation approved list will be accepted. Prequalification will not be required.

For Autauga County, the notice is more than a routine purchasing step. The county engineering department says its mission is to plan, design, construct and maintain the public road and bridge system, and the bid language shows that work is now moving from planning into contracting. County Engineer John Mark Davis leads that effort with assistant engineers Stephen Bland and Rob Ellzey, and the county highlighted Davis on May 7 after the Association of County Commissions of Alabama named him the 2026 Alabama County Engineer of the Year.

The bid also fits into a larger FY 2026 transportation program already on the books. The Autauga County Commission approved the county’s FY 2026 County Transportation Plan on August 19, 2024, and the county posted the plan on August 13, 2025. That plan listed an estimated beginning balance of $2.3 million, plus $1 million in annual County Rebuild Alabama funds and $400,000 in Federal Aid Exchange funds, showing a structured financing pipeline rather than a one-off repair effort.

The transportation plan identified projects on CR-19, CR-1S, Old Ridge Road, CR-33, CR-59, Allenville Road, CR-68 and CR-40. A separate February 2026 bid notice for CR-12, Old Ridge Road, was due March 18 and also required ALDOT-approved contractors and suppliers, underscoring that the county has been advancing road-related procurements in sequence. The new concrete and pipe bid points to the next phase of that work, with county roads and drainage infrastructure likely to see the first visible signs of spending as bids are opened and contracts are awarded.
