Weidema has failed to complete said improvement project which is now the subject of pending litigation between S.R. Weidema and the City of Blaine; and,

 

                     WHEREAS, pursuant to an advertisement for bids for Blaine Improvement Project 17-07, bids were received on March 27, 2018, opened and tabulated according to the law, and S.R. Weidema’s bid was received in an amount of $2,958,989.31; and,
