BACKGROUND: The award process was delayed due to the necessity to resolve a dispute as to whether the low bid was responsive. The second low bidder had filed a letter of protest. By the time the issues were resolved,insufficient time remained to secure the necessary materials and complete the work prior to the start of the busy season at the airport. Staff proposes to rebid this project next spring so the work can be performed during the summer. It is requested that City Council rescind the award and authorize release of bid bonds for all competing firms. * E- HAROLD E.
