CONNOR-WINFIELD CORPORATION *$54,000.00

After the bid opening for Contract 19-481-11, it was learned that the Authority to Advertise Board letter did not appear on a Board Meeting for Board approval, prior to advertising the contract. Therefore, the Director of Procurement and Materials Management has notified Connor-Winfield Corporation that their bid is rejected in the public’s best interest.
