Plainfield council rejects multiple incomplete bids, cites Form 96 noncompliance
Summary
Councilors rejected several contractor bids for the sidewalk and pavement-marking programs because submissions omitted the town's required Form 96 financial attachment; council discussed rebidding and allowing corrected resubmittals given seasonal timing constraints.
At the Aug. 10 meeting, Plainfield staff and council members rejected multiple bids for the 2026 Sidewalk Replacement and Pavement Marking programs after finding the submissions failed to include the town's required Form 96 financial form.
"This bid does not include the Form 96," staff told the council when reading Chandler Construction's submission, prompting a motion to reject incomplete bids. Councilmember Dan Bridget pressed staff on whether the form requirement was still part of the published bid package; staff said the standardized form had been reintroduced to enforce consistency. Members discussed allowing the bidders to correct and resubmit or rebid given the late construction season.
