Council told bike park bids came in under engineer's estimate; staff expects award request next meeting
Summary
Parks staff reported 10 valid bids for the bike park (11 submitted; one late), said bids came in lower than the engineer's estimate, and told the council staff is reviewing qualifications and hopes to return April 1 with a recommendation to award the contract.
Logan reported the bike-park bid process closed with 11 submissions (one late submission on the wrong platform was excluded), leaving 10 qualified bids. Staff said the procurement included qualification criteria for the bike-park element to ensure the selected contractor has relevant experience; Logan said bids so far came in below the engineer’s estimate and staff hopes to return to council on April 1 to request approval to award the contract.
Logan asked for council patience while staff verifies qualifications and completes the selection process. He also said lower-than-expected bids are encouraging and that staff aims to present a recommendation at the next council meeting for formal award and contract action.
