Board responds to K5 protest over 2026 line-striping award, cites past nonperformance
Summary
K5 Corporation submitted a complaint after losing the 2026 line-striping bid; the board noted K5 had failed to complete previously awarded 2025 work and reaffirmed its discretion to accept or reject bids in the town’s best interest; Wallace will draft the response attaching minutes.
Town Administrator Karoline Wallace reviewed correspondence from K5 Corporation, which contested the board’s decision on the 2026 line-striping contract. Wallace and board members said the town had previously awarded a 2025 line-striping job to K5 that was not completed, which the board considered when exercising its discretion on the 2026 procurement.
Julie Isaacs noted the project’s multi‑part nature made reliability an important factor; the board emphasized its right to accept or reject bids that it believes serve the town’s interest regardless of lowest dollar amount. Wallace will draft a letter to K5 attaching the meeting minutes documenting the decision.
No reversal of the award was recorded in the minutes; the exchange was recorded as correspondence and administrative follow-up.
