INTRODUCTION
This memorandum requests the City Council rescind Resolution No. 135-26 thereby
canceling the current public bidding process for the Asbury, Carter & Chaney Traffic
Signal Improvement Project.
BACKGROUND
The public bidding process for this project was approved and initiated on April 18, 2026,
City Council meeting. A public hearing was held on May 4, 2026, and bids were
scheduled to be opened by the City Clerk and presented to the City Council for action
on May 18, 2026. No bids were received.
DISCUSSION
Contractors shared that the lack of bids was primarily due to the project's completion
date and the number of other projects scheduled for bid on the same day. Staff
recommend bidding on the project with a later completion date to provide additional
flexibility for contractors.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council approve the attached resolution to rescind Resolution
No. 135-26 thereby canceling the current bidding process for the Asbury, Carter &
Chaney Traffic Signal Improvement Project.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
I respectfully request that the City Council adopt the attached resolution rescinding the
current bidding process for the project.
