SUBJECT:
Title
Request Approval of Rejection of All Bids: 24B-250 Security Fence Contract (Budget Impact - None)
Body
INITIATOR: DEPARTMENT:
Susan Olsen, Director Procurement Services
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
On behalf of Marion County Utilities (MCU), Procurement advertised a bid for a Security Fence Contract. Contractors were to provide security fence equipment, installation and repair services for the department’s wastewater treatment plants, facilities and lift stations owned by the County.
The County received four (4) submittals on the bid, which erroneously stated that a General Contractor license was required for any fencing over 6’. Due to this error, two contractors were deemed non-responsive. MCU and Procurement has determined that the best course of action for this solicitation is to reject all bids, with the intention to readvertise this bid without the General Contractor licensing requirements.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
None; rejecting all bids carries no budget impact.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommended action
Motion to reject all bids under 24B-250.
