Wis. developer that lost building deal can’t sue state
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A developer that claims it lost a major building contract for political reasons cannot sue Gov. Jim Doyle’s administration for damages.
The District 4 Court of Appeals has upheld a judge’s dismissal of the lawsuit by Prism, which was a bidder on a $68 million construction project at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Prism claims it won the contract after a competitive bidding process in 2003. But the following year, the state issued a new request for proposals and the work went to firms whose employees had made campaign donations to Doyle.
State officials say the original bidding process was tainted because Prism was allowed to revise its bid after the deadline.
