Before the College Station city council awarded a bid to an out of town company that saved the city $7 dollars over a bid from a local company, there was a discussion about giving preferential treatment to local companies. Newly elected councilwoman Melissa McIlhaney said “we’re seeing that money march right out of the community.” Capital projects director Jennifer Cain said the type of bid that was used, called an invitation to bid, required staff and the council to give the contract to a qualified company with the lowest price. Cain said another type of bid, sealed competitive proposals, price is one of the factors that can be considered. City manager Bryan Woods added that bids where location can be considered, that is very limited due to Texas state law.
