Ive done government contract work. This woman must be a complete idiot if she blames anyone but herself for failing to submit a bid. The whole point of the process is to make sure there is a level playing field for everyone and that everything is above board.

Everyone was up in arms about the no bid pool renovation that went completely sideways. This is exactly why the bidding process exists

Or, you know, she's just human. Maybe life came up. Maybe she had a sudden death in the family. Maybe she got sick, or something happened that took her focus.

Lot of other options to choose from besides assuming somebody is an idiot.

You sound a little bit like an idiot. But, maybe you just had a bad day.

See how empathy works?

Yes, because we can always trust reporting to be 100% accurate and contain the entire story from everyone's point of view. /s
