PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
W.O. 14-14 Reflections at Copper Ridge Pond Improvements is a construction project that will improve the existing stormwater detention pond located within Reflections at Copper Ridge Subdivision.
The project was advertised on May 14th, and 21st in the Billings Times and on the City's Website. Bids were opened May 26th, 2015, and by law Council must act on the bid opening at this meeting. The bids were opened the same day as this Council meeting due to the Memorial Day holiday which does not allow staff adequate time to review the bids. Therefore, staff requests that the City Council delay awarding a contract until the June 8th council meeting.
