California agency drops million dollar ESI contract bid
The Water Resources Control Board reversed itself and refused to award a $1 million contract to Engineering Science Inc. after the firm faced bribery allegations in Honolulu. ESI blamed prejudgment and its officers Harvey Ludwig and Joseph Feeney resigned, while chairman Leo Ryan called state college overseas program management rotten and pushed for stricter controls after a five year audit flagged $310,545 in overcharges. Angela Davis trial drew attention as bail issues persisted, and Bath Packing defended short weighting charges in a $1.8 million suit. RTD and mechanics reached a tentative contract ending a four day bus strike, with ratification pending. Public Broadcasting Service president defended emphasis on public affairs as educational.
