Warren Local board rejects all bids for archery building, plans to reconfigure and rebid
Summary
The Warren Local Board of Education voted unanimously to reject all bids for its planned archery building after three of five scopes came in over budget and an expected donation of work did not materialize; the board authorized staff to reconfigure the project and rebid under ORC 3313.46(A)(6).
The Warren Local Board of Education voted unanimously on March 27 to reject all bids submitted for its Archery Building Project and to direct district staff, with legal counsel, to reconfigure the project and rebid it at a later date.
The board’s resolution said three of the five scopes solicited returned bids that exceeded the project budget and that a substantial donation of labor or services the district had anticipated did not materialize. Citing Ohio Revised Code 3313.46(A)(6), the board authorized the superintendent and treasurer to revise the scope before seeking new bids.
The resolution framed the decision as a budgetary and scope realignment rather than a termination of the project. No alternate award was made at the meeting; the board’s motion gives administrators authority to redesign the work and publish a new solicitation.
The action passed by a 5–0 vote with board members Mr. Allen, Mr. Crum, Mrs. Greenup, Mrs. Proctor and Mr. Roush recorded as voting yes.
Next steps the resolution authorizes include working with legal counsel to adjust the project scope and rebid. The resolution did not specify timelines, revised budget figures or which scopes will be reduced or restructured; those details were listed as to be developed by administration prior to rebidding.
