Board selects Verdantus as top scorer for 24‑inch waterline RFQ, will request formal quote
Summary
After RFQ scoring for a proposed 24‑inch waterline, staff reported Verdantus scored highest; the board voted to request a formal quote from Verdantus and asked staff to prepare a resolution to send to council for approval.
The Village of Lordstown Board of Public Affairs reviewed RFQ scoring for a proposed 24‑inch waterline and agreed to request a formal quote from the top‑scoring firm. Staff reported that Verdantus (referred to as 'VerDandis' during scoring discussion) received the highest score in the RFQ evaluation.
Board members discussed next steps for procurement and emphasized that council approval will still be required before any contract is executed. The board moved to request a formal quote from Verdantus and asked staff to prepare a resolution for council review; the motion passed on a voice vote.
What it means: The board’s selection is a qualification‑based step, not a final contract award. The village will seek a formal proposal from Verdantus and then prepare a resolution for council consideration; council will review pricing, scope and contract details and may require a public bidding process or additional documentation depending on funding or federal/state requirements.
Staff said the next steps include requesting the formal quote, preparing a resolution and coordinating council review and any necessary public notifications. If the project moves forward, staff indicated the village will follow its procurement policy and any applicable state procurement or prevailing‑wage requirements.
