I Bids were called for initially on the materials, but subsequent decisions were made to make a "sole source, purchase," or buying directly from one company without bidding. The trustee report noted that sole source purchases were legal, and allowed under a college policy "when that action may best serve the needs of the District." But the report also said that such purchases have involved only eight out of the 97 contracts awarded on the expansion project. "We see no evidence of favoritism in these proceedings and not that the architects have a history of recommending various brick manufacturers and distributors," the trustees' report concluded. Caller offered no comment during the meeting when the trustee subcomittee's report was affirmed without dissent by the full board. But he said later he was not surprised with the outcome, and still not fully satisfied with the explanation.

Caller said he hoped that his calling attention to the situation might lead to a state law requiring bidding on all major purchases by community colleges. Currently, the schools in Wyoming are under no requirement except their own policies to engage in competitive bidding, he said. By PAUL KRZA Star-Tribune staff writer ROCK SPRINGS Disputed brick and mortar purchases for Western Wyoming College's major expansion project were "proper. judgment(s), fairly applied," the WWC trustees have decided. With little comment, the board Thursday night approved a detailed, four-page report by a trustee subcommittee appointed to investigate allegations of "unethical and unfair" bidding lodged by a local brick supply company.

report acknowledged some irregularities and oversights in the process that lead to purchase of the building materials from an out-of-state company. But the trustees also concluded the actions by both the project architect and construction management firm were proper and ethical, and that "no further action" was needed. Rock Springs Block Co. manager Larry Caller had raised the questions about the purchase of several hundred thousand dollars worth of brick, mortar and colored mortar dye. He calimed that the architect's procedures and control over brick and mortar selection were tilted against his firm and in favor of a Denver-based brick company.
