This report was the result of a complaint concerning the bidding and purchase of 1980 motor carrier fuel identification decals by the Office of the Motor Vehicle Comptroller. The complaint alleged that the low bidder provided both bid samples and finished decals which did not meet the established specifications. Based on the Mississippi State Chemical Laboratory’s independent analysis, neither the bid samples nor the finished decals of the low bidder met the terms of the bid specifications. PEER recommended that MVC establish objective standards and review procedures for evaluation of technical proposals before receiving bids on any item in the future.
