Australian Contractor BlueScope Will Cost More
How we know that BlueScope WILL COST MORE: BlueScope proved to us that their pricing is NOT COMPETITIVE last year.
The township received 3 bids to repair the stucco on the township building.
$45,700 - Rabena Brothers, Malvern, PA
$61,500 - Legnini Contractors, Malvern, PA
$116,000 - BlueScope Construction, Melbourne, Australia
Despite being the highest price - Australian BlueScope was awarded the Contract.
How Did We Get Here: On April 14th, 2025, Supervisors Robert Lange and William Shoemaker voted to award a $6.5 million government no-bid contract to the Australian contractor BlueScope Construction. The contract is for the construction of a new Public Works Building for the 9 employees of the roads crew.
NOT TOO LATE - By law, every construction contract CAN BE TERMINATED.
Request for Action: I urge you to write to Lange and Shoemaker and request that they TERMINATE THE CONTRACT and GET COMPETITIVE BIDS from HONEST American Contractors.
Sample Email:
Dear (William Shoemaker or Robert Lange),
I believe this $6.5M No-Bid government contract should be terminated and we should get AMERICAN CONTRACTORS to build the new public works building. By law - every construction contract CAN BE TERMINATED.
Please terminate the contract and get competitive bids from American contractors. This is good stewardship of taxpayer dollars.
Sincerely yours,(your name)
