Arizona bid preference favors in-state firms in public contracts
The Arizona Court of Appeals ruled that a 5 percent bid preference for in-state contractors applies to public works using federal funds. The decision voided a $22,500 Scottsdale judgment after Deem Construction failed to appeal in time, and affirmed that Deem should have been awarded the Vista de Camino Neighborhood Center contract in Scottsdale, originally built by California firm GTS Construction Co. in 1972. Scottsdale argued the preference could not be used with federal funds.
