Board tables single‑bid electrical services RFP after members question high hourly rates
Summary
Trustees questioned the single responsive bid for professional electrical services and noted the quoted hourly rates were unusually high; the board voted to table the item and reopen the solicitation for competitive bids.
At the Aug. 12 meeting, administration presented a single proposal received in response to a request for professional electrical services. Board members questioned why only one company had submitted a proposal and repeatedly raised concern about the bidder's hourly rates, which multiple members described as excessive during discussion.
After debate about control, specialty scope and the difficulty of monitoring contractor hours, a trustee moved to table D1 and reopen the solicitation. The motion to table and reopen the bid process passed by voice vote. Later the board expanded the action, voting to reject and reopen multiple bid items (D1, D2, D3) to seek more competitive responses.
