I see the bids and I understand wanting to use both contractors to get this program moving. Thank you.
However, I see on the bids that the higher bidder is lower for a few of the particular items. Will we assign the work, as available, to them per the items on which they are lower?

All items must be done by the same contractor for each house. Staff’s plan is to assign as much as we can to the inspector with the lower total bid price, and when they are at capacity we will roll the next houses over to the bidder with the higher prices to keep the program moving.
