SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The project provides for the replacement of the Farrelly Pool facilities. Two bids were received for construction. One bid was considered non-responsive. The apparent low bidder's bid exceeded the engineer's estimate by 44%, which would increase project cost 87% above the project's current funding.
Staff recommends rejecting all bids from the June 25, 2019 bid opening for the subject project.
