Brantford商人Brian Manese(Brian Manese的公司赢得了2019年针对该市的诽谤诉讼)说, 从那以后他一直没有收到城市合同, Brantford businessman Brian Manese, whose company won a 2019 defamation lawsuit against the city, says he hasn’t received city contracts since, alleging retaliation after reporting a fire code violation. 他声称,该市拒绝了他提出的为新的动物收容所安装IT电缆的免费提议,理由是动机不当,包括诽谤性言论和将Belden电缆排除在规格之外。 He claims the city rejected his no-cost offer to install IT cabling for the new animal shelter, citing improper motives, including defamatory statements and excluding Belden cable from specifications. 该市否认报复,声称通过动因集团采购组织通过透明的竞争程序处理采购,所有供应商,包括Manese公司,都享有平等机会。 The city denies retaliation, stating procurement is handled through transparent, competitive processes via the Kinetic Group Purchasing Organization, with all vendors, including Manese’s company, having equal access to opportunities. Belden电缆仍然通过全球采购组织提供,大型项目通过向一般承包商征求建议书而获得授标。 Belden cable remains available through the GPO, and large projects are awarded through requests for proposals to general contractors.
