Board signals award to low bidder for well-pump rehab, pending contract paperwork
Summary
After reviewing bids for a well-pump rehabilitation project, staff recommended awarding to the low bidder (packet lists a low bid near $43,399). The board agreed to waive a bidding formality, have President Rick sign a notice of award and require standard contract/bond/insurance before final contract approval.
Staff reported five bids received for the well-pump rehabilitation project and recommended awarding to the low bidder (packet identified the low bidder as "Kauai Home Service" or similar; the packet reported low-bid amounts around $43,399 and $42,399 in different lines). The board discussed supplemental bid items (cutting and threading column piping) and the fact that one bidder did not provide a unit price for that supplemental item.
After legal review and discussion, trustees indicated they were comfortable waiving the bidding informality for supplemental items and directed staff to have President Rick sign the notice of award so the contractor can proceed with bonds and insurance; the actual contract will return to the board for formal approval once paperwork is complete.
Attorney Dan reviewed the procurement file and staff said they would return to the board with the executed contract and insurance documentation prior to final contract approval.
