Tinley Park rejects all bids for Brookside Creek stormwater work; staff to re-scope and rebid
Summary
Trustees forwarded a staff recommendation to reject all bids for the Brookside Creek stormwater improvements after bids exceeded the engineer’s estimate; staff will adjust the scope and rebid later.
Tinley Park trustees voted to forward a staff recommendation to reject all bids received for the Brookside Creek stormwater improvements after bids exceeded the project engineer’s estimate.
Staff told trustees the lowest or all bids came in higher than the engineer’s cost estimate. The committee discussed combining the project with other services to lower cost; staff said they plan to regroup, adjust the project scope and reissue the project for bid at a later date.
Trustee Sullivan said she appreciated the approach to re-evaluate rather than accept bids that exceed the estimate. Trustees moved the recommendation to the Village Board; roll-call votes recorded unanimous support among trustees present to forward the matter.
