Shouldn’t That Have Been A Red Flag?

To the Editor:

All-Star’s bus contract bid of $10.2 million is about $1 million below the second lowest bidder. The spread between the second lowest bidder First Student, Dattco, and the owner-operators, is less than $700,000, a good tight bid spread.

All-Star’s very low bid should be a warning to the Board of Ed. Did they miss something? Red Flag!
