Favoritism Probe Delays Police Radio Equipment Bid
City Council delays bid approval for police communications system amid a probe into potential favoritism toward Motorola. Emerson Bandek, for Technical Products Engineering Co., alleges preferential treatment in bid specs. Motorola’s $757,999 bid was accepted in the third round after earlier bids were rejected for high cost and technicalities. The project stems from a $100,000 study by Texas Criminal Justice Council.
