changing a vote

We are going through a extreme tough time in our association. A week before our annual meeting the board had a meeting to go through last minute business.We need a snow plow contract here to do both our roads and driveways.3 bids were to be in before a certain date,2 came in.One that was 12,000 and one that was for 11,400 and had all the equipment, insurance and man power. The 12,000 contract is a 1 man contract, with not all the equipment we need. The board voted on the 11,400 contract with all board members voting and signing off on the contract. We then had the President resign before our annual meeting.THe board left at the time decieded to bring both snow plowing contracts to the annual meeting for the homeonwers to deciede what they wanted.In that week before the annual they allowed the 12,000 contract to re-do his bid to match the 11,400 contract,My big question is this does the exsisting board have the right to undo the first vote that was passed and signed off on and can they allow a contractor to redo after seeing the other bid change his bid to match.

Wow. Deborah, that's pretty unethical.

Then again, it was really not a good idea to bring the two bids to an annual meeting and let them be micromanaged/voted on when the board had already made a decision.

That's just my $.02, so you can take that for what it's worth, but I would absolutely throw out the second rebid and invalid and reinstate the original contract award.

The $12,000 would be more than welcome to rebid for next year, BUT both would have to rebid and both would have to bid according to an exact specification checklist.
