Charleston's school district is spending an extra $400,000 in the name of "quality work" on the $18 million new North Charleston Middle school. This large chunk of money (roughly 2 percent more than the lowest bid) has some asking if the district erred.
It's a result of the Charleston County School District using a "one-step process" and not a two. The Post and Courier points out:
In a two-step process, contractors' technical plans are evaluated and those rated acceptable or better may then submit a price bid on the job. The lowest bid wins the contract, he said.
A one-step process is different, and that's what happened with the new North Charleston middle school. Contractors are evaluated on two criteria: the technical aspects of their plans — such as their approach, their team and prior performance — and their price.
Only local govt officials can take some serious steps against these kind of work and they can control some heavy investment fraud's as well. Now find the best essay writing service online by spending not more then 10 minutes on Google search engine and save your important time.
