In my opinion, just follow the money trail and relationship net:
Does Mallory have any cousins, dear friends, family members in Carlsbad city govt?
If so, it might explain why they won a contract ($$$!) for which they probably aren't qualified.
And if you want to take it deeper, you ask yourself if the program is even justified in the first place :)
- jcranmer 10y agoI doubt it. Just looking at http://www.uscommunities.org/suppliers/safeware-mallory/ http://www.uscommunities.org/suppliers/safeware-mallory/ gives you a fairly good guess as to how Mallory might have been chosen.
- salesguy222 10y agoAm I missing something? This is a company website that contains stock photos, sales jargon and boring "solutions". Why are they qualified to receive taxpayer money to surveil vehicles wholesale, let alone receive money at all?

I assume they were the lowest bidder on the contract, but I don't know how contracts are awarded in Carlsbad. Edit: looks like they probably placed a bid from here: https://www.planetbids.com/portal/mobile/bidList.cfm?companyID=27970 https://www.planetbids.com/portal/mobile/bidList.cfm?company...
