Commissioners approve nonconcurrence letter after contractor paperwork issue on county road project
Summary
The board voted to authorize the chairman's signature on a nonconcurrence letter to Wyoming Air Protein Corporation after the originally awarded contractor failed to sign required paperwork; the county will re-award to the next qualified bidder at a higher price.
Commissioners approved sending a nonconcurrence letter to Wyoming Air Protein Corporation after the contractor that had been awarded a county road contract did not complete required paperwork, the board said.
A county official explained the original low bidder failed to sign a required document; the board concluded it was appropriate to rescind that award and give the contract to the next qualified bidder, acknowledging the second bidder’s price was higher. Commissioners said the county’s procurement system needed improvement to prevent similar problems.
A motion to approve the chairman's signature on the nonconcurrence letter was made, properly seconded and put to a voice vote. The transcript records commissioners saying “aye” and the chair confirming the signature will be added to the letter.
County staff said they would proceed with re-awarding the contract to the next qualified bidder and noted the need to fix bid-check procedures so required documents are verified before award.
