School Board ReBids On Harrison Johnson Tyler Projects
Cedar Rapids school board, after attorney advice, votes Oct 18 to rebid plumbing heating and ventilating work at Harrison Johnson and Tyler schools. The move follows a $10000 bid error by Matthews Plumbing and Heating, with the bidder ready to add 5000 to his bid or forfeit the bond. The board will not forfeit the bond, will not reform the contract, and will readvertise. The paper urges clearer Iowa law on public bidding.
