Borough Manager Ieasa A. Nichols told council she received multiple resident complaints about the lowest bidder for a Multi Modal contract and that, based on prior interactions, she did not feel the contract would go to a responsible bidder. "I, as borough manager, did not feel that the job would go to a responsible bidder," Nichols said, and the engineer provided formulas and dollar amounts showing the cost difference to select the next bidder.
Nichols said no action to award the contract was taken at the caucus and asked Council to review the engineer's email if the subject comes up during the Legislative meeting. Councilors requested additional detail about the issues raised with the lowest bidder, and the manager said she could identify the specific concerns when asked.
