County cancels Highway 149 reconstruction bid after addendum error, to re-advertise Dec. 16
Summary
Minnehaha County canceled the invitation for bids on Project MC17-10 (Highway 149 Reconstruction) after legal counsel identified a late addendum error; the county will re-advertise with a Dec. 16, 2021 bid opening.
Minnehaha County Highway Superintendent Steve Groen told commissioners Nov. 23 that legal advice prompted cancelling the current invitation for bids on Project MC17-10, Highway 149 Reconstruction, because an addendum issued Nov. 15 contained an error. County counsel recommended cancellation under SDCL 5-18A-12. Commissioner Bender moved to cancel and re-advertise the project; Commissioner Heiberger seconded and the motion passed 4-0. The county intends to re-advertise with a bid opening scheduled for Dec. 16, 2021.
The cancellation is procedural and intended to ensure fair procurement; the county will issue a corrected solicitation and seek new bids. No additional details on the nature of the addendum error were recorded in the minutes.
