Contractors Face Bid Rules to Prevent Collusion
The act requires reporting to the governor any withholding of papers or acts by highway contractors. It bans letting contracts to members of contractor associations until examinations certify no detriment to public interest or bid suppression. Bidders must swear to avoid collusion and disclose affiliations with contractor associations within the past year. The State Highway Commission may cancel contracts found to involve anti competitive practices or political influence.
