At Fiscal Court: Sunfish Roundhill Road and Pickleball Court Bids Awarded

Darren Doyle, story:
Bids for two upcoming county projects were awarded yesterday during the regular Edmonson County Fiscal Court meeting in Brownsville on October 27, 2025.

Judge/Executive Scott Lindsey said that the court voted in favor of the county' project manager's choice and awarded the the construction bid for Sunfish Roundhill Road to Scotty's Contracting, in the amount of $498,793. The only other bid received was in the amount of $915K.

Lindsey said a timetable was not yet available on the rebuilding of the portion of the road that has collapsed, since the bid was just awarded.

"Sunfish Roundhill Road bid packets that we received were sent to Arnold Consulting Engineering Services, who has been contracted by the Fiscal Court as the Project Mangers, for review and to dissect each bid to make sure the requirements were all met with each bid," Lindsey told the Edmonson Voice. "ACES then made the recommendation to award the project to Scotty's, who also had the lowest bid received." 

Lindsey also added that the project is a priority with the repairs coming as quickly as possible. 

In other upcoming construction, the bid for four pickleball courts were awarded to Premier Asphalt Services in the amount of $62,000, as voted up by magistrates. The next lowest bid was $84,477.

Judge Lindsey told the Voice that the four courts will be constructed at Chalybeate Sports Complex but no timetable has been set there, either, since the bid was just awarded. He also said that plans for more courts at Bee Spring Park could also be in the works during the next year's budget.
