Rosen and Associates. Our inability to understand the basis of decision stem from the following cirewmstances and/or facts. 1. Your action to pass a resolution to waive irregularities in the Rosen proposal, was within the discretionary powers of the authority and was st in the invitation for bids. However, to exercise this power should have been limited to a situation where there were no other quali- fied proposals submitted, Further, to exercise this power in this instance shows partiality and discrimination against the other biders. Every Re- developer was aware of the bid requirements and should have been required to fully comply. Those that did not comply should have been disqualified from competition. 2. Some city officials stated that “to give the contract for Rockdale to the "Negro" group would have meant outsiders wouldn't have bid on the cme res because most professional advice favored the “White” group's take exception to this type of thinking. In the firet place, the ied. And since our plan was second best, (in your opinion) it should have received the contract on Rockdale.

Gentlemen, the words competitive bid means to give all interested parties the same opportunities to comply with the rules and then judge them im- partially.
