The City of Temple intended to establish an "as needed" annual contract for lead inspection and consulting services with one vendor at a fixed rate guarantee per structure. However, all bids were rejected due to restricted funding, and the project will be re-evaluated. The scope of work includes lead testing services, and the contract was to be funded by the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). Key points to consider for similar contracts include the type of services required, the funding source, and the evaluation criteria for bids.
• The contract was for environmental lead testing services.
• The City of Temple was the agency responsible for the contract.
• The contract was to be funded by the CDBG.
• The bids were rejected due to restricted funding.
• The project will be re-evaluated and may include other project options under federal allowances.
