Even if you put it out for bids, it's so specialized, you may not get more than one bidder...if any. I'm betting a few calls were made.

And if I remember correctly, you do not have to pick the low bidder.

You don’t have to pick the low bidder. “Best value”. But once again, they talked to more than one potential contractor. So the story from a few days ago was BS.
