Will the bidding process be rigged?

No necessarily legally so since the Council is bound by NOT bound by any of the requirements set out by the requirements of what they posted  on www.cnv.org/BidNotices

Then click on the title and then the link "Supplier Attachments exist" to see two pdfs with the actual detailed info including the requirements.

Perhaps one just wanted to check if Council was awarding two contracts of over $5 million each to potentially unqualified groups that had helped the Onni Corporation receive permission to build an unsuitable project in the core of Central Lonsdale. Many citizens suspect that the assignment of $10 million of City property is being rigged.

The fact that the Vision North Van Councillors fought against this bidding process shows their intent of giving the affordable housing to a local advocacy group and the child care space to the NS Neighbourhood House.
