INTRODUCTION
This memorandum requests the City Council amended Resolution 220-25 which changes
the bid letting date from July 11, 2025, to July 29, 2025, for the 2025 Repair and
Maintenance of the Iowa Street Parking Garage.
BACKGROUND
In May 2025, the City issued bids and only received one (1) bid proposal for the 2025
Repair and Maintenance of the Iowa Street Parking Garage. The single bid received was
significantly over the current funding available to complete the construction improvements
as proposed. As a result, the City Council rejected the single bid due to a lack of
competitive bids and insufficient funding.
On June 16, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 220-25 authorizing the
rebidding of the Repair and Maintenance of the Iowa Street Parking Lot project.
Resolution No. 220-25 directed the City Engineer to advertise for bids for the construction
of the improvements, by publishing the Notice to Bidders which set a date of July 11,
2025, for the filing of bids.
DISCUSSION
In an effort to solicit interest and engage contractors to consider providing competitive bid
proposals for the Iowa Street Parking Garage Repair and Maintenance project, staff feel
it is in the public best interest to extend the bid procurement period and revise the bid
letting date to July 29, 2025.
