Tim, what do you know about the "re-bid" for the A/C at Highland School? What happened to the original bid? I'm hearing that a certain local plumbing company is getting this job too...hmmm.

I'm not sure. I haven't spoken with the Energy Chair about meeting, but want to do so.

The only thing I did hear about it (the a/c job) was that supposedly when the it first went out to bid someone didn't like something about the bids and wanted an architect to look at the job (of course costing even more money) and then it was rebid..sounds fishy to me...what else is new?!
