I've been working on more than my share of bid projects for schools and municipalities lately. Every time I receive bids I confirm my idea that public bid openings are not a good idea.
Inevitably there are issues that need to be addressed and alternative quotes that are needed to perform an accurate analysis. If I had provided the bid info at a public bid opening I would not be able to get the info I need in a fair manner.
Public bid openings may be good for road projects and buying pencils. Not in buying insurance though.
