SAN MARCOS — Hays County commissioners appear ready to rescind a contract offer to KBR Inc. after complaints about the company's work in Iraq.

Commissioners had made a preliminary decision several weeks ago to award a contract for up to $1 million for KBR to design a portion of FM 110, also called the San Marcos Loop.

But according to a public notice posted Thursday, commissioners now intend to take the No. 2 bid for the road work. The switch comes after two military veterans shared their concerns about KBR at a meeting last week.

In a statement, KBR officials said they are disappointed by the decision and said the company has a "solid track record of high-quality construction and infrastructure work that could serve the county well on this project."
