The opening paragraph of a Louisville (Ken.) Courier-Journal newspaper story takes an optimistic approach. “Two companies are bidding to install the next phase of Louisville metro government’s planned emergency communication system, raising hopes that the price will be more in line with what city officials had expected,” the story begins. Apparently the reporter doesn’t realize that it also increases the risk that the final bid award will end with a protest by either M/A-COMM or Motorola. Last May the city threw out the single Motorola bid it received, because it was $95 million, over what the city’s is willing to pay. Read more about the bids here.
