This is the date to award/reject bids for the construction of Bridge 84 and 84a.
John Hart, County Administrator, explained that DL George and Sons was the lowest
bidder however they included a statement in their bid stating "contingent on being
allowed greater than 2 weeks for the by-pass pumping as directed by the bid
documents". Mr. Hart explained this is a fatal flaw with the Department of
Environmental Protection. The contractor cannot exceed the two week period. He said
most contractors try to reduce the time period instead of extending it. His
recommendation is to reject the DL George & Sons bid and award to David H. Martin
Excavating who is the next lowest qualified bidder. Mary Beth Shank, County Solicitor,
said her recommendation is that the Board approve the bid to David H. Martin and also
approve the Notice of Intent to Award pending staff's satisfactory review of the bid
requirements being met before signing the Notice of Award. On a motion by Robert G.
Ziobrowski, seconded by Robert L. Thomas; unanimously approved to reject the bid
from DL George & Sons Construction, Co. and award to David H. Martin for a bid
amount of$648,567.00 and approve the Notice of Intent to Award and approve the
Notice of Award pending staff review of the bid requirements.
