It should be noted that there were irregularities present in several of the bids submitted, including
that of low bidder, Messercola Excavating, whose bid was not submitted intact and was missing
several non - signature pages. We believe that these irregularities are minor in nature and not a
mandatory cause for rejection; therefore, the outcome of the bid is unaffected.
As a matter of procedure, our office has contacted Messercola Excavating to discuss their bid. The
representative we spoke to indicated they are comfortable with the bid as submitted and there is no
objection to completing the project based on the bid prices submitted and the contract time.
