Summary:
|
In early May 2025, CUSD 200 was made aware of concerns that Evans and Son Blacktop, Inc. may not be able to meet all project and legal requirements defined in the agreement between the parties. Based on this information, CUSD 200 legal representation determined that it would be in the best interest of CUSD 200 to terminate the agreement with Evans and Son Blacktop, Inc. and award the base bid and all alternates to the second lowest bidder, Abbey Paving Solutions, Inc. Abbey Paving has confirmed that they will be able to complete the work as defined in the bid documents. A separate action item contains a recommendation to award the Summer 2025 Paving contract to Abbey Paving.
