PROJECT At its May 19, 2003 meeting, the Council directed City Engineer Dave Mitchell to advertise for bids to complete the Peloquin Industrial Park P.I. Project. On Thursday, June 12, 2003, Dave received four bids on the project, with the apparent low bidder being Northdale Construction in the amount of $733,891.91. However, the low bidder did not provide a tabulation of subcontractors and suppliers or a list of project references. City Attorney Dave Snyder recommended that the City Council reject all bids and readvertise for new bids for the project. Tom Wibelski, representing Northdale Construction, addressed the Council stating why he felt his company could perform and asked that the bid be awarded. In light of the history of this project, Council felt that all bids should be rejected and the City advertise for rebid of the project.
