Two bids opened for Anstead VFD roof; commission asks construction review before award
Summary
Commissioners opened two bids for the Anstead Volunteer Fire Department roof repair on Aug. 20 and sent bid packages to the county's construction reviewer; one bidder submitted two options and staff will check whether bids meet specifications before the commission awards a contract.
County commissioners opened bids Aug. 20 for a roof repair project at the Anstead Volunteer Fire Department and directed staff and county construction personnel to review the proposals for conformance with the solicitation. The commission recorded a base bid from Alpha Roofing of $65,725. Another bidder, Almost Heaven Roofing, submitted two line items/options; one of those figures was recorded in the meeting as $136,185. Commissioners said the two submissions must be checked by the county's construction reviewer to ensure "apples to apples" comparisons with the bid specifications. A commissioner suggested meeting with the contractor while in executive session; the commission moved to take the bids to the county construction reviewer and to discuss bid conformity and personnel matters in executive session. Commissioners said if the higher-priced option included items outside the specifications it would require rebidding or clarification before award. No award was made at the meeting. Staff said a future agenda would include a recommendation to award once the construction review and specification checks are complete.
