Commissioners unanimously approved a bid and construction agreement at their Oct. 15 meeting to repair the Williamson County Justice Center parking garage.
Restek Inc., a concrete restoration company from Austin, was found to be the "lowest responsible bidder" for the repairs by the commissioners court and a technical committee tasked to review bids.
Bidders were required to include information about the individuals who would be assigned to the parking garage repair project. Because Dallas-based concrete repair company Southwest Construction Services, which submitted a bid of $412,000, did not include the information to the committee's standards, Restek Inc., which submitted a $570,495 bid, was awarded the contract.
"This is not in any way, shape or form, the standard contract for Williamson County," said Robert Daigh, senior director of infrastructure for the county.
