Ms. Moore replied staff received questions with regards to the people that
responded; however, none of the responses were complete. She said all the
bids received were incomplete; therefore, staff is rejecting them and having
it re-bid. She said staff clarified some of the bid instructions to ensure they
mark, if it is not applicable, that they so mark it. Further responding, she said
rejection of the bids had nothing to do with qualifications. She said the bid
called for specific information with regard to the site and what was intended
to be placed at the site, and none of the responses included that information.
Member Tanner seconded the motion, and it carried by a 5-0 vote.
