MORCS Building Contract

Open Session - 11:35AM
The Board of Directors reviewed the award made to Novus Construction ("Novus") on October 24, 2016 and determined by a vote of six (6) ayes and one (1) absent that Novas failed to meet the requirements of Article 11 of the Instructions to Bidders and the Insurance Documents & Endorsements Form to submit required insurance within five (5) days.  Due to the failure to meet the condition precedent of providing required insurance documents, a contract cannot be formed with Novus and the award is made to the next lowest responsive responsible bidder which is Kemp Bros Construction, Inc. with a bid of $22,342.00. 
M. Keipp made a motion to rescend the construction bid award from Novus and immediately award Kemp Bros Construction, Inc.
J. Lucente seconded the motion.
The team VOTED unanimously to approve the motion.
