Board rejects lone conflict-engineer bid for data-center application, reauthorizes RFP
Summary
The Holmdel Planning Board voted to reject the single bid for a conflict engineer on a data-center application and reauthorize the request for proposals to allow additional firms to participate after a submission issue was reported.
The Holmdel Planning Board voted to reject the lone bid submitted for a conflict engineer on the township’s data-center application and authorized a new request for proposals to attract additional respondents. Chair said the move was intended to preserve fairness after the board received one bid and learned of a reported submission problem affecting another potential bidder.
"I need a motion to reject the bids for the conflict engineer for the data center application that was submitted, and to reauthorize the RFP to go out," the Chair said, asking the board to rebid the scope. A board member moved to reject the proposal and send the RFP back out; the motion passed by voice vote and was recorded as approved. The Clerk announced the motion passed for the record.
Board members discussed only procedural fairness rather than the merits of the disputed submission; no new procurement details or vendor names were provided during the discussion. The board did not identify a replacement engineer at the meeting and directed staff to reissue the RFP so other firms can submit.
