Staff solicited bids for the annual purchase of rock, asphalt and concrete on an as-needed basis. Staff reviewed the bids and recommends awarding the bid on rock and as indicated on the attached bid tab form. This recommendation includes awarding to all companies that submitted a bid. The purchase would always be made to from the lowest bidder, unless the item is not available from that vendor at the time the item is needed. Purchasing would then authorize the purchase to be made from the next lowest bidder, until such time as the lowest bidder is able to provide the product.
Staff recommends that the concrete bids be rejected and requests permission to re-bid.
It was noted that rejecting the concrete bids could cause a problem in obtaining concrete as needed. Award Bid No. Commonly Used Items as indicated on the bid tabulation form with the exception of the concrete and approve purchasing concrete from Joe Brown Co., Inc. and re-bid the secondary concrete source. Rivas and Huggins Motion failed 4-2. Commonly Used Items with the exception of the concrete and table the concrete bid.
