Trustees award 1981 road work to Northwood; competing bidder protests award
Summary
At a September special meeting trustees awarded 1981 road work to Northwood Stone/Asphalt. A representative of a competing bidder lodged a protest; trustees had submitted bids to the prosecutor’s office for review and acknowledged the protest pending further action.
The Norwich Township Board of Trustees opened road bids for 1981 and later held a special meeting to award contracts for road work. Bidders included Early Paving, Columbus Asphalt and Northwood Stone; trustees reviewed specifications and scheduled a special meeting to consider awards.
At the special meeting trustees moved to award the road-work contract to Northwood Stone/Asphalt. A representative from a competing bidder (Farley Paving) attended and formally protested the award, arguing the bid should not have been accepted. Trustees said they had submitted all bids to the county prosecutor's office to verify legal acceptability and acknowledged the protest. The trustee chair adjourned the meeting after the protest was lodged, and the record shows trustees planned to await the prosecutor’s guidance before finalizing the award.
Minutes record that trustees intended to notify bidders and follow the prosecutor’s review; the board also scheduled subsequent meetings to finalize bid awards and to handle any appeals or protests relating to the procurement process.
