1. Award of Contract There was a written statement for the disqualification of the
lowest bidder because of the following deficiencies: (1) lack of 5 projects of more
than $5,000,000 completed in the last 5 years, (2) apparent lack of financial
resources for a project of this size, (3) failure to complete a project in a timely
manner and failure to meet prescribed time lines, (4) failure to obtain required
permits on a previous project, (5) inaccurate information on the reference list, and
(6) incomplete information of the Bid Form submitted. Russ Walter made a motion
to accept the letter stating the lowest bidder is not the lowest responsible bidder. It
was seconded by Marilyn Vorderer. The information in these findings was
collected from the Bidder's Qualification Statement(financial statements,
references, projects done in the last 5 years, etc). All moved to pass with a roll call
vote. The motion carried.
