Clark County Commissioners Show Their Stupidity... Again

I wonder how much Stevie Sisolak got paid?  Lawrence brown- how much was he paid off?  Suzy Braeger, how much were you paid?  Tom Collins, well,he is a very studpid fellow, so he didn't need to be paid off.
But one wonders why a food service contract was given to a higher bidder even the lower bidder met all the qualifications of the contract.
From the Las Vegas Sun: Competition and controversy were on the menu Tuesday when Clark County commissioners awarded a lucrative contract to provide meals at two of its jails to a more experienced – but more expensive – company.
The issue: Commissioners needed to chose a vendor to provide food services for inmates at Clark County Detention Center and the North Valley Complex.
The vote: Commissioners voted 5-2 to award the contract to Aramark Correctional Services, with Commissioners Chris Giunchigliani and Lawrence Weekly opposed.
What it means: Aramark will keep the contract it’s had since 2006 to provide about 11,000 daily meals at two county jails, even though staff recommended commissioners go with a cheaper alternative.
California-based New Era Foods submitted the lowest bid for the contract at $4.7 million annually, among the key criteria staff considered when recommending vendors.
But Aramark, which had the second lowest bid at $5 million per year, filed a protest with the county arguing that New Era Foods lacked the experience necessary to adequately do the job because the 5-year-old company doesn’t have any other jail contracts.

But New Era has experience in other stressful areas:
New Era Foods president James Davis made a passionate case to commissioners, pointing to other demanding contracts the company is serving, including one for a number of schools in Los Angeles.
Although the company’s experience in correctional settings is limited to one 10-month contract with a jail in California, it has hired several administrators with the necessary background, including some who previously worked for Aramark at the Clark County Detention Center, Davis said.
“We won the bid and I went and got the best talent,” Davis said. “We did this the right way. We came here. We bid on this. We were the low bidder. We’ve proven responsible … they’re trying to bully us out of a contract we won the right way.”
What's the point of putting out of bids if the commissioners are going to make the rules along the way, especially if they are paid off to rig a contract.
Hopefully the FBI will be looking into this.
