Quote;OK, I have to ask this. Who is doing the paving? Is it the county itself, or did they issue an emergency no-bid contract to a private company? Not that we really have much choice under these circumstances, but something tells me that with lots of Federal money in play, the usual county contracting shenanigans could be even worse than usual.
Sarcasm loading.........Yes, this paving job should definitely be announced two months in advance. Bidders must be vetted to insure they have the proper licenses and insurance. All qualified bidders should have an opportunity to prepare a competitive bid. All proposals shall be studied to insure quality of proposal. Contract will be awarded to top bidder by January 2020.
