Council rejects bids for Narcissus Road project and approves revised advertisement
Summary
Bids for Narcissus Road improvement project 26-001 were rejected after the administration reported unexpectedly high bids and a discrepancy in the bid packet; council unanimously approved advertising a revised scope (project 26-002) excluding the south-end drainage outfall.
City Administrator Mike Kramm told the council that bids on the Narcissus Road roadway and drainage improvement project 26-001 "came in quite a bit higher than expected" and that officials discovered a discrepancy in the bid packet released to the public. Based on that report, the administration recommended rejecting all bids for 26-001; the council voted unanimously to do so.
Council then approved advertising a revised bid package for a related project, Narcissus Road project 26-002, with the south-end drainage outfall excluded from the current advertisement. Mayor Pro Tem Amanda Fenwick moved to advertise the revised package and Councilwoman Susan Baker seconded; the motion passed unanimously. The minutes state the administration will correct the bid packet and re-open bidding for the affected scope once revisions are complete.
The Roads and Drainage committee earlier had reported a setback on Narcissus Road that led to the agenda discussion. The minutes do not include bid amounts, dates for the new advertisement, or a contractor timeline; those details were left to staff to specify when the corrected bid packet is released.
