Unfortunately, most public institutions are poor at doing this sort of thing. then you bring in a consultant to help you. Guess what? You have to bid out the consultant work. Never ending cycle.
Some cities use a volunteer group of commissions to assist in the oversight of the public works. They help set policy, review finances, help with public relations and most importantly look at how the public business is operated.They also have things like beautification, recreation, economic development, etc. All of these comissions look on a regular basis at how the public works are being done and monitor the efforts.
Perfect system? Not by any means, but it does put other sets of eyes on the work. Helps the bond ratings too.

You know the problem is some people are actually going to believe this sort of information.
I wonder what kickbacks our commissioners get from these people. Why are they continuously awarding contracts and paying more than they should? To support their friends?Instead of supporting 'local business' how about supporting the locals that pay the taxes!

Signtek's Portfolio Released.
This photo, taken from Signtek's portfolio, has Walton County residents questioning the BCC?s decision to hire the company for the County Road 30A/Timpoochee Trail Improvement Plan. When asked, Commissioner Cindy Meadows? stated that the generous company had sent the entire BCC and their families to various tropical islands to view samples of their past projects. ?We were so impressed with Signtek?s work in Cancun that we made a unanimous decision at the beach that day to use this company for all of our future sign needs.? Then she added, ?Oh, and they?re local.?

Oh, I believe the "Shcool" part. Just because a company is local, doesn't mean they can spell. lol.
