Thank you, you're absolutely correct.
& I searched the District's website last night and I can't find the Bid Offering nor the contract. It's probably there, I just couldn't find it.
I don't believe it goes before anyone other than the District. I think the District can do it on their own motion, but I believe it's subject to all the procurement laws and regulations.
I'm sure the District would say they didn't really have a choice, because they "need to be in the 'center' of The Villages". I think that's the disconnect. If you go into a bidding (or purchasing) process, with such narrow parameters, you never get much for your money. That's why they call it "sole source procurement". Only one Seller (or provider) is able to provide what you insist you need.
