SCHMITT
Ward i Dear Mayor and Council:
CAROLYN
COLE Staff is seeking authorization to Award the above referenced contract to Lehman Trucking
Ward 2 and Excavating for the Mayor or designee to execute the same. There were two bids
received for this project, they are listed below:
HAROLD
GEIIY
Ward 3 Central States Contracting, Inc. $ 8,949.76
Lehman Trucking&Excavating, Inc. $15,500.00
QUENTIN M.
Ward 4
HART
Although Central States was the apparent low bidder, staff recommends that the bid be
rejected as "non-responsive"based upon the unanimous opinion of several City
RON Departments who experienced a myriad of problems with Central States work on Contract
WELPER No. 142- D-GO-02-24-06-VGM involving the demolition of two homes in connection
Ward s with the Ansborough Interchange and VGM Expansion Projects. The problems included,
BOB among other things: failure to timely obtain permits, failure to send proper notifications,
GREENWOOD possible misleading statements to Building Inspections and other personnel, failure to
At-Large timely respond to disputes between subcontractors and Central States, and failure to timely
STEVE respond to numerous follow up calls and emails from the undersigned and Building
SCHMITT Officials regarding the progress of the project and resolution of issues stated herein.
At-Large
In general, a"Responsible Bidder"is defined as:
"A bidder whose reputation,past performance, and business and financial capabilities are
such that the bidder would be judged by an appropriate authority as capable of satisfying
an organization's needs for a specific contract."
On this charge, the undersigned and all other relevant City Departments do not find Central
States to be a"responsible bidder,"and therefore rejects it's bid.
