From the enclosures, it appears that MNI was the apparent low bidder for certain general construction work to be performed at the Harrisburg International Airport at a price of $1,256,458. The contract was to be awarded by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. Since the project was substantially funded through a grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the State had agreed to and was obligated to comply with certain grant conditions. One condition required the low, responsive bidder to submit a subcontracting plan, which included a goal of 8-percent minority-owned business participation and 2-percent women-owned business participation. MNI's plan showed participation of 3-percent minority and 0-percent women participation. The State believed that KNI's plan was based on MNI's best effort but, after consultation with FAA, the State Bureau of Aviation determined that MNI's plan was not acceptable. Later, the State awarded the contract to the second low bidder, Lobar, Inc., at a price less than $10,000 more than MNI's price. 6-/6 33
