Quote:the bid process for the new trucks since it has been questioned, will be investigated by the city. if no wrong doing has been found and the process was followed with no errors, then the city can proceed with the bid from pierce. if some wrong doing is found, all the bids get thrown out and the process gets re-opened, keep in mind the city knows what manufacturer is questioning the bids ( not good for them). this not only cost the city additional money but time, instead of having new trucks arrive in the city in early 2015 you are now looking late 2015 as a new bid process can be opened for 30 days or more, then you need to open them, select a vendor and get the process rolling. since we are already in july, new bids probally won't be opened until September ans awarded in late sept/oct time frame
Yikes! I wonder if the "low bid" clause is what's in question here.
