Williamson County received six (6) bids for IFB #22IFB108 Chandler Creek Subdivision Roadway and Drainage Improvements. The apparent lowest bid for this solicitation is Green Dream International, LLC.  The subject solicitation requires the bidders to submit a list of projects where similar services of like scope have been performed.  The projects submitted by Green Dream International, LLC presented a reduced scope of work compared to the scope of work requested in the solicitation.   Additionally, the Green Dream International, LLC was unable to perform on a materials contract awarded in  November, 2021.  That contract had to be terminated for non-performance.   The next lowest bid, Chasco Contractors, was found to be responsive, mathematically correct, and materially balanced. In addition to meeting the bid qualifications, Chasco Contractors, has performed similar work for Williamson County as well as other agencies' projects and received positive references from those contacted. Based on the responsive bid of $729,929.00 and previous successful experiences with the bidder, it is recommended to the Williamson County Commissioners’ Court that they award to Chasco Contractors the contract for Chandler Creek Subdivision Roadway and Drainage Improvements project.
