I am writing to discuss the precast concrete package for the Commerce Center <br />project that was bid last month. I understand that this project is currently on hold due to <br />financing issues and F.A. Wilhelm has actually pulled off the site. <br />This would definitely mean that the project schedule within the bid documents would no <br />longer be used and thus the bids would no longer be valid. <br />We were unfortunately not the low bidder for the project because we actually bid the project <br />schedule in the documents starting in December 2019 and finishing by April 2020, utilizing 2 <br />cranes, 2 crews and overtime to meet the demand. <br />We specifically know our competitor did not <br />public. This is very troubling, since had we bid the project based on the same criteria, we <br />actually had a lower number than our competitor by more than $250,000. However, there was <br />no place to show that within the public bid documents or on the bid form since there were no <br />Value Engineered or Alternate bid locations. <br />Therefore, we would like to know what will be done with the bid once financing is secured <br />since the project was not bid according to the public documents. <br />We would expect, as with all other public bid openings, that the project will come back out for <br />bid to allow for competitive bids once again. <br />Please let me know what will be done so we can plan accordingly. I look forward to hearing <br />back from you soon. <br />Aaron M.
