Bidding on public contracts.
Summary
- Finds that the practices of bid shopping and bid peddling in connection with the construction, alteration, and repair of public improvements often result in poor quality of material and workmanship to the detriment of the public, deprive the public of full benefits of fair competition among prime contractors and subcontractors and lead to insolvencies, loss of wages to employees, and other problems.
