Public works staff asked the council to reject all submitted bids for the 36th Avenue improvement project and to re‑advertise after redesigning culvert materials to lower cost. Laura Maddie (public works staff) said bids exceeded anticipated funding by nearly double and recommended rejecting the proposals and soliciting new bids with adjusted specs.
A council member (speaker 5) moved to reject all proposals and authorize staff to re‑solicit; another member (speaker 14) seconded. The council approved the motion by unanimous portal vote.
Staff said the project—located west of Phillips and near Eureka—includes a substantial drainage improvement with large culverts intended to reduce winter flooding; staff will revise the culvert material in the plans before rebidding.
