Jacinto City closes WWTP bid process and authorizes RFP #2 for CDBG-MIT project
Summary
After receiving no bids for its CDBG-MIT wastewater treatment plant project (No. 22-085-053-D306), Jacinto City Council voted unanimously to close the current bid process and reauthorize a second RFP, citing project complexity and federal paperwork as reasons for lack of responses.
The Jacinto City Council voted 5-0 on Nov. 5 to close the current bidding process for the Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements (CDBG-MIT Project No. 22-085-053-D306) and to authorize a second request-for-proposals.
City Manager Lon D. Squyres told the council the city received no valid bids; he said two contractors attended the pre-bid meeting but one cited insufficient labor capacity and the other could not complete paperwork in time. Squyres described the work as "very large and complicated" and said federal grant paperwork and procurement rules likely discouraged bidders. Council Member Gregg Robinson moved to close the bidding process; the motion passed 5-0.
Squyres said the city has consulted the GLO and GrantWorks and intends to readvertise the project, possibly waiting until early next year to avoid the holidays and to gather contractor input. The council then authorized RFP #2 for the same CDBG-MIT project by unanimous vote, continuing the city—s effort to secure qualified contractors for specialized wastewater-treatment equipment and construction.
Next steps noted during the meeting included additional outreach to contractors and consultation with engineering consultant LJA Engineering on timing and bid packaging; no schedule or award date was specified at the meeting.
