BOE to REJECT Bids to Ensure Chevy Chase School Gets FIELDTURF Green Plastic Playground

MCPS put out a request for bids for the installation of a green plastic playground at Somerset Elementary School.

3 companies bid on the project.

On Tuesday, June 14, 2016, Interim Superintendent Larry Bowers will tell the Board of Education to REJECT the competitive bids and, instead award the contract to MCPS' favorite NO BID plastic grass installer, FieldTurf.

Note that FieldTurf DID NOT PUT IN A BID for this project.  Yet, they will be given the contract anyway.

Don't you just love the way the good ol' boy network works?
