Board awards 2025 DPW overhead door replacement contract for two doors to Central Door
Summary
After bidders said their unit pricing changed when the job was reduced from four doors to two, the Board of Public Works reconsidered the award and approved Central Door for two doors at $24,252.
The Board of Public Works on Aug. 5 reconsidered the bid award for the 2025 Department of Public Works overhead door replacement and awarded the contract for two doors to Central Door at a total price of $24,252.
The board had initially received bids priced for replacement of four doors, with American Door the low bidder on the four‑door scope. When the project scope was reduced to two doors because initial pricing exceeded budget, American Door informed staff that its per‑door price would increase when the quantity dropped. Staff then contacted Central Door, which held its unit price for the two‑door scope. A board member summarized: “when we went down to the 2 doors, then they said it was gonna be more,” referring to American Door’s revised per‑door price.
A board member moved to approve reconsideration of the award and to award the two‑door contract to Central Door in the amount of $24,252. Another board member seconded the motion, and the board voted in favor. Meeting minutes record the outcome as an approval; the motion carried with an affirmative voice vote.
Board members discussed that bid prices had been submitted as unit prices tied to a four‑door quantity and that changing the quantity affected the bidders’ per‑door pricing. One member described the decision to select Central Door as a pragmatic choice after confirming the revised pricing with American Door and noting Central Door “held their unit price.” No protests or formal bidder challenges were recorded during the meeting.
The board did not provide additional budget line-item details during the discussion. Staff will proceed with the contract award consistent with the board’s motion.
