Our Government Has Different Rules for Their Projects Than For Your Projects
What Rules is the Government not following that you would be required to follow?
Setbacks: Two structure are proposed to be located OUTSIDE the building setbacks.
Impervious Coverage: The new driveways and structures will be non-conforming to the zoning for this 4.0 acre property.
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 after Community Review.
Sample Email:
Dear (William Shoemaker or Robert Lange),
I believe this $6.5M No-Bid government contract should be terminated and we should get community review by our Planning Commission, Historical Commission and Sustainabilty Committee. By law - every construction contract CAN BE TERMINATED.
Please terminate the contract and get competitive bids from American Companies. This is good stewardship of taxpayer dollars.
Sincerely yours,(your name)
