Councilman Chris Funk asked what the procedural significance of rejecting bids versus not taking action on them was. Corporation Counsel Wendy Morthland explained that rejecting the bids means the bids are no longer valid for Council to accept at some later point. There is a definite difference between rejecting and tabling the bids. Rejecting would mean there is no valid contract. Councilman Chris Funk asked if there was a requirement to reject the bids or is there is a reason why it was being proposed to reject the bids. Corporation Counsel Wendy Morthland stated it is a formal declaration to the bidder that the contract will not be entered into.
