Approve the rejection of all bids for Bid # 2024-012, Building Materials Annual Contract, and authorize Staff to rebid at a later date.

A "Notice to Bidders" was published on June 5^th and June 12^th, 2024. Bid packets were sent to local area vendors and bids were received. Bids were opened on June 21, 2024, at 10:00 a.m.,
Of the two bids received, one had 3 "no bid" items and the other had 32 "no bid" items, some of which are "common use" items and are purchased frequently. 

After conferring with both the Public Works Director and the Construction Services Superintendent, it was determined that there was no good way to have an "apples to apples" comparison with the current bids. During this discussion it was also determined that the current bid form's list of items was obsolete and needed to be revised. This revision includes a reduction in the overall number of items from over 180 items, to 45 items. The quantity of these items was also updated as to better represent our current needs. With the bid documents already revised, we should be able to go back out for bid fairly quickly. A bid tabulation is attached for your review.

It is the recommendation of the Public Works Department to reject all bids received and to rebid at a later date with the revised documents.

Thank you.
