In a Special Work Session held yesterday at City Council Chambers,the City Council met with local construction companies, subcontractors and suppliers involved in the bidding process for major government construction contracts in the City. There has been dissatisfaction from local contractors that there are some serious deficiencies in the bidding process.
Bob Telles, Purchasing Manager for the City presented several recommendations Wednesday to try to correct the problems in the process.
This brings to the forefront the inequities in the bidding process by Las Cruces business leaders who brought their concerns to city council several weeks ago which prompted a yesterdays work session.
City Council will consider the recommendations presented at the August 3rd City Council meeting at 1:00 p.m.
SPACEPORT AMERICA FACES SIMILAR CHALLENGES
Also,there have been similar complaints regarding the bidding process by local/state contractors for the building of "Spaceport America." The current bid process only allows for the hiring of 5% in state contractors the remaining 95% can be out-of-state.
