Board delays award on J S McCarty phase 2 reconstruction to resolve contracts and confirm bid-hold
Summary
Staff requested tabling the J S McCarty phase 2 reconstruction award to allow cancellation of two existing contracts that will free funding and to check bid-hold status; the board moved, seconded and tabled the award pending confirmation.
The Hamilton County Drainage Board tabled action on the J S McCarty drain phase 2 reconstruction award after staff requested additional time to cancel two existing contracts and confirm bid-hold status.
An engineer told the board, "I would request that this be tabled prior to approving this contract. We need to cancel the 2 existing contracts from which the funding will be available for this project and we need additional 2 weeks." Board members asked staff to confirm whether a sufficient bid hold existed; staff agreed to check and the board tabled the item to a future meeting so the contracts could be canceled or extended if necessary.
No contract award was approved at the July 27 meeting; the board deferred final action until staff confirms bid-hold status and resolves contract cancellations.
