Of course that council has since been replaced so going forward we can expect proper handling of any public expenditures, but the whole thing is leaving a sour taste in the mouths of Calgarians from what I gather. Rightfully so.

No, not everything should go to bid, it simply costs too much and takes too long for smaller projects.
The city sole sources the design of many projects in this city. And that's the way we want it. It's not just to one engineer, but to many different ones.
