North Twin Builders, LLC v. Town of Phelps

¶ 1. The Town of Phelps appeals a summary judgment awarding North Twin Builders, LLC, compensatory damages for the Town's violation of Wis. Stat. § 60.47, which governs public contracts and competitive bidding for towns.1 The Town asserts North Twin Builders is not entitled to recover the costs *150of preparing its unsuccessful bid because it did not first obtain injunctive relief. We conclude that a disappointed bidder may recover bid preparation expenses for a violation of the competitive bidding statute regardless of whether it has sought injunctive relief. Accordingly, we affirm.
