Marshall board: No bids received for CR Schaeffer project; staff to consult grant managers

At its meeting on Aug. 25, 2025, the Marshall Board of Works and Safety was told the deadline to receive bids for the CR Schaeffer project passed with no submissions. Board member Porter told the board that as of 4 p.m. the office had not received any bids and staff would contact the city’s grant coordinator and grant managers to determine next steps. The board was not asked to take formal action on the CR Schaeffer item at the meeting. Porter described the immediate administrative next step as outreach to the grant administrator and said staff would report back after coordinating with grant managers. The absence of bids leaves the project’s near-term timeline unresolved; Porter said staff will inform the board once they have determined “where we go from here.” No dollar figures, revised schedules or alternative procurement options were provided during the discussion. The board moved on to other agenda items after the update; any further direction or a formal decision on how to proceed with the CR Schaeffer project will appear on a future agenda.
