The Town Council is wrong with this decision. The Town is discouraging competitive bidding in this lack of judgment regarding the tender process.
The lowest bid from a qualified supplier who met all terms in the tender document should be awarded the contract.
Why would I invest time, effort, and money in a municipal tender when it seems apparent that a bias is shown towards a local bidder?
Was this “point system” for award spelled out in the tender document?
The Town Council is wasting our tax dollars again. The $50,000 should have been saved.
