NC 27611-6507 <br /> <br />Dear Sirs: <br /> <br />I am writing to follow up on'the bid protest our firm filed on Wednesday afternoon (7/11/01) on <br />behalf of the Charlotte office of Beers Construction Company ("Beers") with Cabarrus County (the <br />"County") on the Exposition Park project (the "Project"). As time is of the essence, we are quite <br />interested in hearing how you intend to deal with our protest. <br /> <br />I believe it is important for the County to focus on the financial impact to your citizens should you <br />elect not to contract with Beers, the low bidder on the Project. In doing so, you should keep in mind <br />the following facts: (1) Beers, a responsible offeror, submitted the low bid on the multi-prime · <br />version of the solicitation, in a timely fashion; (2) Beers, again a responsible offeror, submitted the <br />low bid on the single-prime version of the solicitation, again in a timely fashion; and (3) the only <br />reasons that the Beers bids were not accepted were either violations of the Solicitation's own <br />provisions or violations of the North Carolina General Statutes. <br /> <br />The financial impact to the County of the County's improper actions will be a significant amount of <br />money, no matter whether the County elects to go with the multi-prime or single-prime delivery <br />system. Your constituents surely should not bear such a financial burden due to the above-mentioned <br />violations. Beers is preserving its bids and its work papers that evidence these financial impacts to <br />the County, and can supply them for your review. <br /> <br />We Iook forward to your timely response to the Beers bid protest. <br />Very truly yours, <br /> <br />MOORE & VAN ALLEN, PLLC <br /> <br />William.
