Re: Deconstruction of Commerce Refuse-to-Energy Facility (CREA) Project – Notice of Proposed Rescission of Award, Rejection of Bids, and Re-advertisement Dear Mr. Clark:
This letter is to notify Precision Works, Inc. dba Precision Environmental that, at its meeting on August 11, 2026, the City Council will consider adopting a Resolution rescinding the prior award of the above-referenced Project to Precision Works, rejecting all bids received, and authorizing the Project to be re-advertised through a new competitive procurement process. The proposed action is based on revisions to the Project scope that will remove the monitoring-well abandonment work from the Additive Bid Schedule and incorporate it into the Base Bid Schedule.
Because no contract has been executed between the City and Precision Works and no Notice to Proceed has been issued, Precision Works shall not mobilize, order materials for the Project, direct subcontractors to proceed, perform any Project work, or incur any costs in reliance on the City Council's June 23, 2026 award action. The City will not be responsible for any work performed or costs incurred in the absence of a fully executed contract and a written Notice to Proceed.
Nothing in this notice constitutes a finding of default, misconduct, or nonresponsibility by Precision Works, nor does it adopt or concede any allegation asserted by another bidder. Further, nothing in this notice shall be construed as a waiver of any position, defense, right, or remedy available to the City under the solicitation documents or applicable law. The City expressly reserves all such rights.
The agenda and supporting materials for the City Council meeting will be made available in accordance with applicable law. Precision Works may submit written comments for inclusion in the administrative record and may participate in the public meeting in accordance with the City's procedures.
