Purpose & Explanation
Bids were received on July 28, 2015 for the SUM-91-15.20 N. Main Street and Prospect Street Intersection Improvements. Below is the Engineer's Estimate along with the respective bids.
Engineer's Estimate: $902,088.62

Due to the bid exceeding the Engineer's Estimate in excess of 10% (37% above engineer's estimate) we are recommending rejection of the bid. Engineering will rebid the project closer to 2016 for 2016 completion, adjusting the plans and estimate as needed, based on contractor feedback.
