Summary

The board rejected the lone bid for the Department of Public Works fueling‑systems project because the submission failed to meet RCO and bid‑document requirements; staff will reassess and rebid the work.

Middletown Township rejected the single submission received in the rebid for the Department of Public Works fueling‑systems phase 1 project, which covers new fuel pumps, removal of underground tanks and a safety canopy.

Township engineer Kessler said the lone bidder failed to supply required forms and did not meet RCO (prevailing‑wage/apprenticeship) requirements for certain contracts. Because the project is specialized (fueling systems and petroleum work) the field of qualified bidders is smaller; staff recommended rejecting bids and adjusting the procurement approach. The board voted to reject the bids and reassess how to move the project forward.

Next steps: Staff will revise procurement documents and rebid to seek qualified, compliant contractors.
