The Pima County Board of Supervisors rejected a formal appeal made by a local construction company over a $10 million road construction contract.
Borderland Construction Co. lodged an appeal two weeks ago with county officials, alleging Select Development and Construction failed to comply with the county’s bid-procurement process.
The appeal follows a decision by the county procurement staff to give the contract to Select Development.
Steve Shepherd, executive vice president of Borderland, suggested the other construction company was out of compliance when it stated it would use a total of only three subcontractors in the $10 million project for Magee Road improvements between La Cañada Drive and Oracle Road.
