| Council Consideration of a Second Bid Award for the Water Tank Rehabilitation (Z1-R4 Southern Drive Tank) to BSP of Wyoming in the Amount of $531,600.00 (1% Project). |
| BACKGROUND: |
|
This project consists of blasting and repainting the interior and exterior of the Z1-R4 Southern Drive Tank. This project was awarded to Base Group at the February 17, 2015 City Council meeting. The City sent the Notice of Award to Base Group on February 19, 2015 which required Base Group to provide signed contracts and contract security (Bonds) by March 10, 2015. Since Base Group has not complied with the Notice of Award, we will be annulling their award and will be awarding the project to BSP of Wyoming.
