From the transcript
The protest period was— or the contractor was notified. A grievance was immediately filed, and an exchange that went on until probably about 9 or 10 o'clock at night explaining where they could find the information on why the aggrieved bidder was not responsive. And although it's ambiguous on if an aggrieved bidder is allowed or not allowed to protest per borough code, we decided to allow that anyways, and so we actually extended the protest period to give them time and provide a formal protest to the manager for review, just hope like maybe if there's something that we didn't see and follow, check and cross-reference. Once we got the— we'll call it protest— information, immediately went to work just like we would any other project or contract. Again, staff members not involved, staff members not informed.
