Perry County Seeks Sealed Bids for Bituminous Road Surfacing Projects

The Perry County Highway Department posted a formal bid package and contract documents for several bituminous surfacing projects spread across the county, setting a deadline of 4:00 p.m. CDT on Monday for contractors to submit sealed bids at the Perry County Auditor's Office.

The Notice and Proposal documents were scanned and made available as part of the county's standard procurement process, inviting qualified contractors to review the full bid package before submitting their proposals. Bituminous surfacing, which involves applying asphalt-based material to road surfaces, is among the most common methods counties use to maintain and rehabilitate aging roadways.

The Perry County Highway Department oversees road maintenance across a rural county where road quality directly affects daily commutes, agricultural hauling routes, and access to communities along the Ohio River corridor. Surfacing projects of this type typically address deterioration caused by heavy vehicle traffic, freeze-thaw cycles, and seasonal wear.

Sealed bids submitted to the Auditor's Office by the posted deadline will be reviewed and awarded through the county's standard contracting procedures. Contractors interested in the full scope of work, project specifications, and submission requirements were directed to the formal bid package released by the Highway Department.
