In Ogle, Ringland-Johnson wants courthouse job despite not being low bidder

If you saw my column today on rrstar.com., you know that local contractor Ringland-Johnson is arguing with the city of Rockford over its bid to remove the Main Street portion of the old downtown mall. Ringland-Johnson is low bidder for the job, approximately $1.9 million. Stenstrom Construction bid just $17,000 higher, and so Ringland said it should get the job because it is the low bidder.
The city says R-J isn’t qualified because it doesn’t meet its standard for installing paving bricks. But R-J is adamant that it can do the job properly and should get the bid.
Meanwhile, in Ogle County, R-J is the second lowest bidder for a job to remodel the Ogle County Courthouse in downtown Oregon.
R-J argues in Ogle County that it should get the bid, despite being higher than the low bidder.
