Board sets timeline for bids, considers special meeting to keep skate park schedule
Summary
After adopting procurement changes, the board discussed bid review timing and the possibility of a special meeting to consider bids earlier than the published July 16 board date; staff said they would try to accelerate review if consultants can deliver earlier.
Board members pressed staff on the timeline for reviewing revised bids and indicated a desire to avoid further delays to construction. General Manager McElhaney said bids would be presented to the board on July 16 but agreed to work with consultants to try to move that up if possible. Counsel and staff warned that shortening review time could be tight but said they would try to accommodate a special meeting if consultants could complete reviews sooner.
Director Thomas suggested July 9 as a target date to review bids; counsel and staff said an extra week may be helpful for evaluators but that staff would ‘‘work with the consultant’’ and would call a special meeting if bids can be reviewed earlier. Vice President Dean said she would pull the board together for a special meeting if legal review is complete sooner. The board emphasized urgency to keep construction before the rainy season.
