Kemp ISD rejects construction bids for new agriculture facility after bids exceed budget
Summary
Board members said bids for the new agricultural facility came in above budget and the district's advertisement should have been for Competitive Proposals; trustees voted unanimously to reject the bids.
Kemp Independent School District trustees voted Nov. 18 to reject the construction bids received for a proposed agricultural facility after the board was told the bids came in above budget.
Dr. James Young reported that "the bids came in above budget and there was some confusion on Competitive Bidding. It should have been Competitive Proposals." Trustee Matt Gross moved to reject the bids received through the competitive bid process; Trustee Randal Robertson seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The board concluded the competitive-bid responses did not match the district's intended procurement method and therefore sent the project back for rebidding under the appropriate solicitation; the transcript records the board's rejection but does not specify a new schedule or cost estimate.
