Item 6 on the March 12, 2013 city council agenda suggests awarding a $488,000 contract to an out of town company for library audio visual equipment. The firm had the “highest ranked proposal”, not the lowest cost one.
Two well known El Paso firms submitted lower offers — a lot lower.
Did the local firms not meet the specifications? I doubt it. Submitting offers takes time and money. It does not make sense to waste time and money making an offer that you know does not meet specifications.
Something else is going on here.
Maybe someone will come forward and help us understand.
We deserve better
