| Hylton v. Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, 268 Md.
266, 300 A.2d 656 (1972)
September Term 1972 No. 298
Appeal from Baltimore City Circuit Court No. 2
The city entered into a contract with a private company for the construction of a resource recovery solid waste disposal system. The city entered into the contract without engaging in the competitive
bidding process outlined in its charter, and the taxpayers alleged in their complaint that such failure rendered the contract null and void. The trial court determined that there had been no violation of the city's
competitive bidding requirements, and it declared the contract valid and binding upon the parties. In affirming the trial court's decision, the court held that in the situation where the company at issue was the
only company capable of fulfilling the city's specific needs, competitive bidding was not required by the city's charter.
