Bid Award
Meadowbrook Storm Sewer
A bid opening for the proposed Meadowbrook Storm Sewer project
was conducted September 26. The apparent low bidder submitted a
bid considerably under his competitor's quotes. Staff and the
consultant feel uncomfortable in recommending award based on that
bid until some investigation is done. We need to learn if a
genuine mistake was made in preparation of the bid and if the
contractor can truly perform the work at the quoted price. We
hope to complete that investigation by Monday, September 30 and
deliver a complete Council report at that time.
