No bids received for Vienna's 12th Street lift station; board plans March re-bid
Summary
The board received no bids for the 12th Street lift station and plans a contractor walkthrough and a new bid opening set for March 4; staff attributed the lack of bids to contractor staffing shortages.
Speaker 1 opened a discussion of the 12th Street lift station project and asked whether bids had been received.
"We did not receive any bids," Speaker 3 said, reporting that contractors are short-staffed. Speaker 3 said he arranged a contractor walkthrough and that the new bid opening is scheduled for March 4.
Why it matters: a functioning lift station is part of the wastewater system improvements discussed at the meeting; delays in procurement will affect the project timeline and scheduling of related construction work.
Staff said they had contacted contractors and planned to reopen bidding after the walkthrough. No formal motion to change procurement terms or award a contract was made at the meeting.
The board will consider results of the March bid opening when staff return with updated procurement information.
