The White Salmon Valley Pool Metropolitan Park District is taking steps to move the pool project forward following the Board of Commissioners' unanimous July regular meeting decision to reject the initial construction bids and restart the bidding process.
Following the initial bidding process this spring, the District and its consultants identified several issues with the bidding procedures that did not meet Washington State's public procurement requirements.
Working with our construction partner, Kirby Nagelhout Construction Company (KNCC), the District determined that rejecting the initial bids and restarting the process was the appropriate path forward.
This decision will help ensure the project can move ahead with a fair, competitive, and compliant bidding process.
Thank You to the Contractors
We sincerely thank the contractors and suppliers who invested their time and resources in the initial bidding process. We appreciate their interest in this important community project and encourage everyone to participate again when bidding officially re-opens.
