Scruggs Construction is withdrawing its quote for street repair on Columbus’ Project #25-24 Concrete Street Repairs – Everroad Park West.
The Columbus Board of Public Works and Safety awarded the quote to Scruggs Construction at the Dec. 17 meeting, but earlier this year, Scruggs made it known that they would not be able to complete the project and asked to withdraw.
This action from Scruggs will call into question any further consideration of offers from them for future projects, according to city officials.
“They have to be a responsible bidder which means to have the capacity and the ability to perform the work. Certainly the city takes into account its prior history with a vendor in making those decisions,” said city attorney Alex Whitted.
During Tuesday’s meeting, the Columbus Board of Public Works and Safety voted to accept the withdrawal and reject all other bidders from the initial group.
Instead, the board approved a new notice to bidders for a very similar project under the expanded 2026 budget.
