Gene Brooks Sends a Letter and Documentation to TDOT that Stop the Dec. 14, 2010 Millennium Bidding for a Review of Conflicts of Interest

The Architect BIF is moving toward a bid date. Wild Building Contractors (WBC) is planning to bid even though they are working with the architect as an estimating consultant as WBC, paying the architect's fees as MSP, and are the ultimate grant beneficiary's as owners of the land on which the taxpayer-funded parking deck and retail shells will be built.

The conflicts of interest are coming out...

Armed with information about the relationships among the parties and the architect's own document stating that he proposed and appears to be using Wild Building Contractors, a project bidder, as a project estimator, Councilman Brooks sent documentation to the state (TDOT) and to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).

The letter and attachments cause TDOT to stop the December 14, 2010, bidding and begin a review of the allegations, focusing primarily on the conflict of interest involving one bidder (WBC/David and Tim Wild) and the Millennium architectural firm BIF. 

Brooks has the facts and the documentation to back it up. Everything came from PUBLIC DOCUMENTS requests that were reviewed and pulled together and then sent to TDOT and the FHWA, et al.
