(KLZA)--Falls City Council members voted unanimously Monday night to approve a change order in excess of $284,000 for the new electrical generator project.
Utility Superintendent Alan Romine told the Council the new generator the City is going to have installed will require more room for all of the switching gear.
A Houston, Texas company bid a pre-fabricated building at a cost of $283,728. Romine said there are two companies in Nebraska that can provide the same type of building so it will be rebid with hopes of one of the Nebraska companies submitting a better price.
The Board of Public Works recommended the change order be approved.

The FACT that the city council members released the numbers and undoubtedly the specs for the housed switchgear required, after knowingly having a bid from an out of state company is what is commonly known as rigging the bid in an attempt to give companies an unfair advantage. This is unethical, immoral and most likely illegal when done by government.
