There was no competition when Lodi awarded NO BID
contracts for professional services.
Lodi didn't post requests for qualifications.
Lodi didn't provide a public notice showing contracts awarded and
their estimated costs.
Lodi is disguising some “professional service” contracts as employee contracts. There is a difference.
