Retread

My colleague Taft Wireback will be writing about this audit report (PDF warning) for tomorrow’s paper. The intro from the report:

The Office of the State Auditor received a number of allegations concerning a State of North Carolina term contract for tire retreading. The tire retreading contract was written and administered by the North Carolina Department of Administration–Division of Purchase and Contract. The allegations primarily concerned the contractor, White’s Tire Service, Inc., (the Contractor), and the procurement of retread tires for local school districts, which are referred to as Local Education Authorities (LEAs). Allegedly, the contractor violated provisions of the contract regarding charges for repairs, tire casing identification, and price adjustments.

On a quick read through, the report seems to say that there are some things that need to be changed with how this contract works.
