City Attorney Salter reported on a lawsuit filed by
Wiser Construction against the City of Ashland in
connection with the Airport Project Bid. Salter explained
that the City had awarded the bid to the second to lowest
bidder, Milani & Wooldridge and not to Wiser Construction,
Inc. who had the lowest bid which had a modification of
the specifications. Satter said if the Court rules in
favor of Wiser Construction the matter can come back
before the Council for a possible re-bid. Public Works
Director Alsing said the project must be done this
summer so time is a factor. Salter recommended not
signing contract with Milani and Wooldridge until after
Court hearing. Laws so moved; Medaris seconded and
passed with an unanimous vote.
