As you can see, the verified bid amount of the low bidder, Merritt Construction, Inc., is
$12,360.00 less than the bid submitted. This was a result of multiplication errors in two (2) of
the bid items.
We contacted Merritt Construction, Inc. to inform them of the errors and ask if they would
have any problems completing the work for the verified amount. They indicated that this
would not be a problem and looked forward to starting the project.
We have checked the references provided to us by Merritt Construction, Inc. and found them to
be very positive with no problems noted.
