School board rejects single bid for Woodstock North solar site improvements, will re‑bid
Summary
The board rejected a lone bid for site improvements around the Woodstock North photovoltaic field after the bid came in nearly double the architect’s estimate and there were limited responses from fencing contractors.
The school board voted to reject the single bid received for site improvements at the Woodstock North photovoltaic (solar) field and directed staff to seek new bids.
Staff told trustees the district went out to bid in August for site improvements—primarily fencing and related site work around the proposed solar field—and received one bid that was nearly double the architect’s estimate. Staff also reported they received no replies from several fencing contractors the district had contacted.
Discussion: Trustees and staff said the lone bid’s price and the lack of responses made the bid unreliable for award. Based on those factors, staff recommended rejecting the bid and re‑advertising the work.
Formal action: The board moved, seconded and approved a motion to reject the single bid and re‑advertise the site improvement work.
What happens next: Staff will re‑bid the project and pursue additional contractor outreach. No new contract was awarded at the meeting.
