The Mesa County Commission approved contracts last month with four local suppliers to provide gravel materials for Mesa County transportation projects in 2026, in an amount not to exceed $225,000. The materials will support ongoing road maintenance and repairs across Mesa County, helping crews respond to wear caused by traffic, weather and daily use.

Mesa County evaluated bids based on material cost, supplier location and the ability to meet operational needs in different parts of the county. The county said in a news release that using multiple local suppliers will help reduce hauling costs and improve access to materials based on road conditions and project location. Approved suppliers include: 3B Enterprises; Elam Construction; Moores Mining; and Parkerson Construction.
