Body
BACKGROUND
This action will authorize the rejection of the bids received for solicitation CIZ24-TRN-3093 - Bond Signals-Lancaster Road at Wheatland Road/Plaza Boulevard for construction of warranted traffic signal installations for the Department of Transportation. The Department of Transportation will review and modify the specifications and plans before re-advertisement.
The solicitation was opened to the public from June 28, 2024, through July 19, 2024. Two sealed bids were received and were opened on July 19, 2024.
After opening of the bids, the Department of Transportation noted there were discrepancies in certain published documents that were part of the request for bids which resulted in both bids received having errors in their submissions. Staff consulted with the City Attorney’s Office. It has been determined that it is in the best interest of the City to reject all bids, revise the bid documents, and re-advertise to ensure that the updated bid documents are clear and without ambiguity.
