One bidder for the Zoo Interchange? Rethink the bid criteria
Tuesday, December 1st, 2009In this economy, getting just one bid on a multi-million dollar project likely means your bid criteria stink.
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation solicited bids for the $12 million to $22 million Zoo Interchange bridge repair project and got exactly one bid — from Milwaukee Constructors LLC, which is made up of Edward Kraemer & Sons Inc.; Lunda Construction Co.; and Zenith Tech Inc., the same folks who brought you the bulk of the Marquette Interchange, according to the Daily Reporter.
But just one bid? When construction firms are dying for work?Is WisDOT kidding?
