What is your objection – that the bid opening and award occurred on the same day? If so, what is wrong with that exactly?

The project specs are published way ahead of time, the contractors prepare their sealed bids and submit them by the due date. They are then opened and the contract awarded to the lowest bidder who meets the bidding specs. Pretty transparent process.

Good ol’ boys network, much?
