[Vision2020] Security Contract

Here's part of what I don't understand about the UI security issue:  If this was an open bid process, what was left to negotiate/discuss, let alone negotiate/discuss in secret?  Shouldn't the bid terms have clearly spelled everything out?  If not, then the bid process needs to be done again, correctly (which excludes Lloyd Mues).

I fail to see how unarmed security personnel are going to help with the alcohol problem which allegedly is part of the motivation.  These unfortunate pseudocops are very likely to end up being great objects of ridicule and pranking especially if they to concentrate on the Greek community as has been alleged.  [That's what has happened elsewhere.]  

The alcohol problem has many facets including the need for an intelligent (perhaps too much to expect now from the present UI personnel concerned) and very persistent, deep reaching education and prevention program.  More enforcement is clearly needed.  Why not leave that further enforcement to the professionals, the MPD, with a little help with closer communication, and not with a security firm [AlliedBarton] which simple Googling shows are much less than stellar in performance and integrity.
