City Administrator Pro Tem Zach Potter informed the council on Oct. 21 that an award dispute has arisen between the two low bidders on the Water Treatment Plant expansion construction contract.

No motion or vote to award the contract occurred during the meeting; the item was placed on hold pending legal review. Potter did not provide additional details in the public meeting record about the grounds of the dispute or the bidders involved.
