Autauga County Seeks Bids to Patch, Widen and Resurface CR-12; March 18

Autauga County’s Engineering Department and County Commission have issued a formal invitation for sealed bids on Project No. RA-ACP 01-02-24, a patching, widening and resurfacing work on County Road 12 (Old Ridge Road) running east from US-31 for approximately 1.939 miles, with sealed proposals due at 10:00 AM Central Time on March 18, 2026. The county notice posted February 23, 2026, specifies that only ALDOT-approved contractors and suppliers will be accepted for the contract.

The CR-12 advertisement follows municipal coordination steps recorded in Prattville’s records: a city council resolution authorized Mayor Gillespie to enter a Memorandum of Understanding with the Autauga County Commission to utilize Rebuild Alabama Act funds for RA-ACP01-02-24, described in Resolution Book 2025-A, page 185 and sponsored by Councilor Jackson. Prattville’s language frames the county project limits as from US-31 to 1.9 miles east of US-31, consistent with the county’s more precise 1.939-mile figure.

Procurement details on the county posting note that full bid documents and specifications are available through the Autauga County bid page and that the solicitation is distributed through BidNet Direct for vendor access. The county’s public posting carries the 2026 copyright and lists Autauga County’s main phone number, (334) 358-6700, for administrative contact. The CR-12 notice excerpt provided does not include the sealed-bid mailing address, bid bond or packaging instructions in full; contractors are directed to obtain the full Invitation/Advertisement for Bid packet for submission rules and technical specifications.

State-level project listings show separate but related work in the same corridor. The Alabama Department of Transportation STIP/CPMS extract identifies “intersection improvements at SR-59 and CR-12” that include adding right-turn lanes on SR-59 north and south and adding left-turn lanes on CR-12, with construction funds listed as $2,104 (thousands) in the STIP entry for FY 2024. That ALDOT entry is recorded under ATRP2-02-2021-213 and is not expressly linked in the available documents to county Project RA-ACP 01-02-24, indicating county resurfacing and state intersection work may be separate contracts affecting the Old Ridge Road corridor.

County bidding practice seen elsewhere in Autauga County advertisements (for example, Project RA-ACP 01-81-21 for CR-19) includes language requiring compliance with the Rebuild Alabama Act No. 2019-2, Alabama Code Title 39, ALDOT bonding and licensing rules, and the ALDOT-approved list of contractors and material suppliers. The CR-12 posting explicitly requires ALDOT-approved contractors and suppliers; interested firms should retrieve the county’s full bid packet to confirm bonding, license, bid-marking and award procedures.

Autauga County posted the solicitation on February 23, 2026; sealed bids must be submitted by 10:00 AM CT on March 18, 2026. Full specifications are available via the county’s bid page and the BidNet Direct solicitation, and county staff can be reached at (334) 358-6700 for administrative questions.
