Susan Olsen, Director

DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
On behalf of MSTU/Assessments, Procurement advertised a bid for the Fore Acres First Addition road improvement project. Three (3) bids were received and MSTU/Assessments recommended Anderson Columbia Company, Inc. for award as the lowest responsive bidder. This project requires a Final Public Hearing which is scheduled for June 9, 2022. However, as this project was solicited in October 2021 and Procurement terms state that rates are to be valid for ninety (90) days, Anderson Columbia is unable to maintain their rates for this extended period of time given the volatility of the current market with asphalt prices increasing twenty-four percent (24%). MSTU/Assessments Director, Alan Jones, recommends the rejection of all bids. This project is currently re-advertised under a new project number to align more closely with the Final Public Hearing date.
