After reviewing the bids, staff believes the best interests of the City would be served by rejecting all bids and re-bidding the project utilizing a contractor prequalification process.
If approved by Council, staff will conduct a contractor prequalification process to establish a list of contractors qualified to perform traffic signal improvements and subsequently rebid the project to that list of qualified contractors as soon as possible.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City in the rejection of these bids.
