Section 1 $ 75,000 No Bids On February 25,2008, Council directed staff to reject bids for S08001 and S08005 since they did not meet market values. Rejection letters and the required 5% cashier's checks were returned to bidders for those properties. No bids were received for S08006. Staff informed Council that we would have our drainage consultant evaluate the property associated with bids S08002, S08003, and S08004. To prevent expiration of the bids, purchasing staff obtained extension letters from the interested parties. Bids on these properties are currently valid until September 26, 2008. The drainage consultant is now comfortable with the sale of property associated with bids S08002 and S08003 if the volume in the detention basin recommended by the Binkley and Barfield report is maintained. The City Engineer has confIrmed that the design does include the recommended volume (the detention basin may have to be constructed in phases. Issues are now resolved related to bids S08002 and S08003, staff recommends award of Sealed Bids #08002, 08003, to the high idders, respectively.
