SUBJECT: Reject Bids for Contract 24-11-PR Choinumni Park Improvements
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Reject all bids for Contract 24-11-PR Choinumni Park Improvements, State of California Department of Parks and Recreation Project No. RG-10-001.
REPORT
Approval of the recommended action would reject all bids received as the Regional Park Program (RPP) grant amount is insufficient to cover the lowest base bid.

There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. This project is funded through the RPP grant, and costs incurred for this project were also funded through the RPP grant. Future maintenance requirements will be allocated within the Parks Org 7910 Budget. There is no local match contribution required for the RPP Grant.
