I have never bid on City of Calgary work, but I have bid on work with other municipalities in Alberta. Some of them have pretty clear methods for determining the winning bid. They assign points to the bid based on many categories and then total the points to pick the winner.
Some of the categories are: price, schedule, innovation, environmental, safety, man power,
past history.
They could give Graham a lower score in past history but if they were better at everything else they could still win the bid.
