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.

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.”
