Calif. State Auditor Slams Use of No-Bid Contracts

FRESNO, Calif. (KMJ) — The use of no-bid contracts for government jobs is being strongly criticized by the California state auditor.

In a new report, Elaine Howle is blasting the use of such deals, which have cost taxpayers major sums of cash.

Howle says California spent around $44 billion on non-competitive arrangements for work, between 2011 and 2016.

Many of those projects ended with significant cost overruns and delays.

Howle’s report urges a reversal of such practices and better oversight.
