The project includes the installation of approximately 1600 linear feet of 8-inch water line installed by both open cut and bore from the intersection of N. Market The bid advertisement was provided to multiple contractors and plan rooms. The project was also advertised tol bid in the Flatonia Argus on 9/14/23 and 9/21/23. The City received two (2) bids for the project. One oft the bidder's, WR Utilities, did not provide written words correlating tor numerical unit prices on the bid form; therefore, bidderi is considered non responsive. This left WJC Constructors Services, LLC as the only responsive bidder. The base bid from WJC City Council has two options, award the project to' WJC Constructors Services, LLC in the amount of $397,140.58 or reject the bid and re-bid the project. WJC is qualified to construct the project; however, with only one responsive bidder, it may be more advantageous to the City to rebid the project. Re-bidding the project does not guarantee bids will be lower than the current responsive bid. After discussion with City staff, it is preferred that this project receive more than one responsive bidder to better evaluate the bids; therefore, BEFCO recommends that the City Street and E. 12h Street north across I-10. was $397,140.58. of Flatonia reject the bid and re-bid the project.
