OCTOBER 29, 2021, KEIZERTIMES, PAGE A5 city and Walker’s have worked to fi nal- ize a contract. At the Nov. 1 meeting, councilors will choose to either sign that contract or possibly start the pro- cess over again and seek new bids. “I’ve given up trying to predict what is going to happen,” said interim City Manager Wes Hare. “They may want additional information, they might want to go back out to bid, or they may want to ratify the contract.” Summer Concert Series During the Nov. 15 meeting, the Keizer City Council will decide if they want the Keizer Chamber of Commerce to replace Clint Holland as the man- ager of the Summer Concert Series at the Keizer Rotary Amphitheater. Holland has managed the series for the past nine years. Holland’s contract with the city expired this year, and in August, the city began seeking new bids for the man- agement of the series. The chamber and Holland both submitted proposal. The Chamber’s proposal received 150.5 points out of 225, and Holland's 129. Holland’s objection, which he’s expressed at city meetings, is that the city sent the RFP to the wrong email and home address. Holland has also said that he’s been in regular contact with the city for nine years, so he isn’t sure how they used his incorrect email and home address. By the time he got it, Holland claims that he had to submit a rushed proposal. Members of the committee that scored the RFPs wrote that Holland’s “handwritten” proposal was “not totally clear” and “poorly fi lled out.” “As a reviewer, I am tasked with using the information within the appli- cation and the application does not pro- vide enough details for me to evaluate this properly,” wrote Matt Lawyer, who is on the city’s Park Advisory Board. During an Oct. 18 council meeting, City Attorney Shannon Johnson said the chamber received the RFP on Oct. 15 and Holland received it by email on Oct. 19. He added that Holland did not seek an extension nor did he submit a protest once the intent to award to the Keizer Rotary Amphitheater. FILE PHOTO, Keizertimes Chamber was submitted. But just like the KLL Park, the coun- cil will have complete authority to either restart the process that some have called fl awed, or to sign the con- tract over to the chamber on Nov. 15. “The council will say, ‘We’ve listened to the Chamber or Clint and we think the process was fl awed or we will go forward with it.’” said Hare. “The deci- sion at the end of the day belongs to the council.” senior housing guide Emerald Pointe DIRECTIONS FROM KEIZER: On River Road, one-half mile north of McNary Estates.
