Perrysburg Twp. trustees will rebid $3.7M administration building project
The process to build a new Perrysburg Township administration building has reversed. At this week’s meeting, the trustees voted to rebid the $3.7 million project after an attorney for one of the companies that was not awarded the construction bid complained about the process. The bid had been awarded to Rudolph Libbe Inc., of Walbridge, Ohio, on June 5. “Since that time, one of the other firms has contested the proposal, saying that it had deficiencies,” said township Administrator Jon Eckel. “I have talked with our attorneys and to avoid any future problems or issues with this, we have decided that we will redraft that proposal.”
