This resolution authorizes the City of Shreveport's Purchasing Agent to reject all bids received for the Curtis Lane & Lakeshore Drive Improvements GOB24 - Project IFB 25-073. Two bids were received on January 15, 2026, but errors were detected in the electronic bid platform. Additionally, the bids received were over the project budget. The City Council's approval is required to reject the bids and re-advertise, as per the City Charter and Louisiana Bid Law, which allows rejection for "just cause." The "just cause" cited includes errors in the bid document and the bids exceeding the project budget. The City Council is recommended to adopt the resolution to proceed with rejecting the bids and re-soliciting.
