Page "RTC Transit" Paragraph 18

The fixed route contract is scheduled to expire September 25, 2011, and was proposed to be awarded to First Transit, the apparent low bidder and highest scorer on the comprehensive review, however, Veolia has complained to the RTC board of bidding irregularities in the First Transit bid as well as an unfair emphasis on price in comparison to other technical factors.

The RTC board approved the First Transit bid on a 4-3 vote, but after the Nevada Attorney General reprimanded the RTC for approving the contract without a majority of the eight members on the RTC board ( as opposed to merely those present ), the RTC board has deadlocked on the contract, and has given Veolia a six month extension while the board finds a means to obtain a majority to make a decision.

First Transit subsequently sued the RTC to force them to make a decision.
