City examines local preference for bidders

A draft policy would give nearby companies a chance to match outside bids if they come within 5%, but disagreements over thresholds, definitions of “local,” and potential impacts on competition left the measure tabled until October. On the same night, the council also approved an $8.52 million settlement to acquire the Parkview mobile home park, clearing the way for the Mouse River flood protection project. Jill Schramm with Minot Daily News has the full story.
