KENDALLVILLE â A bid opening for Kendallvilleâs proposed solar field has been delayed two weeks as the city researches a potential legal snag with the project specifications.
The delay came after a Rochester-based solar company raised some issues with the cityâs bid specifications, leading to City Attorney Doug Atz to recommend a brief delay.
Kendallville had been hoping to open bids from contractors on the estimated $2.35 million project on Tuesday, then award bids in a special meeting on April 20 in order to get the project rolling as soon as possible.
Kendallville is hoping to build a 1-megawatt solar field on the former McCray Refrigerator factory site off Wayne Street, with the power generated going to reduce the utility costs from the next-door wastewater treatment plant.
