CAPTION

1.  Presentation of a recommendation for discussion, consideration and action for Hidalgo County to waive the "technicality" (as permitted under procurement packet's legal notices) of a vendor (Torres Building & Construction, L.L.C.) not returning/submitting a "request for bid cover letter" with the bid submitted, thus permitting the Hidalgo County UCP to tabulate, analyze and present the bid for consideration and possible award inasmuch as it is in the County's best interest to do so;
