Utility district says bids for Central Attenuation Basin returned 'extremely high'; staff to investigate
Summary
A utility-district representative reported that contractor bids for the Central Attenuation Basin came back extremely high; staff will consult contractors to understand costs and must decide by the August meeting because of a 60-day award/reject window.
A representative for the utility district told the Committee the village opened bids for the Central Attenuation Basin but held off awarding a contract because the "bids came back extremely high." The representative said staff are talking with contractors to determine why the bids were high and to explore rate implications if the project proceeds.
The utility representative emphasized the board must act quickly: "We do have to make a decision by our August meeting because we only have a 60 day window to ex award or reject those bids." Trustees asked staff to return with further explanation of the costs and any alternatives; no contract award occurred at this meeting.
