SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) -- The City of Sioux Falls will not release the names of entities that have submitted bids to review the warped siding on the Premier Center.
The Argus Leader reported this afternoon that the request for proposal process will remain secret. However, the City's purchasing manager, Scott Rust, indicated who submitted bids is public information.
The Argus reports that "Rust said the list of the submitters for this RFP, like the rest, are public information but won't be shared publicly until "after the announcement press release.""
KELO.com News has asked the City Attorney's Office to provide the legal authority for refusing to release the information to the media and the public as well as when an "announcement press release" might be issued.
