A statement posted by someone on the Argus Observerâs Facebook page in relation to the story âCity of Ontario gets $360,000 for sidewalks to schools,â which ran on Wednesday, reads: âIs that work going out for bids or insider deal?â
The Argus reached out to city staff and staff from Jacobs, the city of Ontarioâs Public Works department, to learn more about the bid process and what it entails.
In an email on Monday morning, Ontario City Engineer Betsy Roberts provided a glimpse into the detailed steps that are taken in order to seek out a bid for work. She explained limits for projects and purchases.
