Dear Sir:
On July 6, 2017, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to advertise for bids Contract 17-903-41, Elevator Improvements at the Mainstream Pumping Station.
In response to a public advertisement of August 30, 2017, a bid opening was held on October 10, 2017. The bid tabulation for this contract is:
MID-AMERICAN ELEVATOR COMPANY, INC. $403,000.00
The bid submitted by Mid-American Elevator Company, Inc., is approximately 64 percent above the estimate and considered too high for an award. Therefore, their bid is rejected in the public’s best interest. The Director of Procurement and Materials Management has informed Mid-American Elevator Company, Inc., of this action.
