successful bidder should have been

disqualified for lack of training.

Similarly the panel ruled that the

successful bidder lacked food

preparation experience and, therefore,

did not meet the experience

requirements for managing a full food

service operation.

One panel member dissented.

In ruling on the question of remedy,

a majority of the panel determined that

Mr. Waldie did not prove under the

facts of the case that he was entitled to

damages. The panel ruled that had the

successful bidder been disqualified,

there was another individual with a

higher score than Mr. Waldie who

would have been chosen as the

successful bidder for the Fort McClellan

food service operation. The panel noted

both the Eleventh Amendment and the

Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals

decision in Georgia Department of

Human Resources v. Nash 915 F.2d

1482 (11th Cir. 1990) barring the award

of damages.

One panel member dissented.

The views and opinions expressed by

the panel do not necessarily represent

the views and opinions of the U.S.

Department of Education.
