TULSA, Oklahoma -- Employees won the bid for city hall maintenance over 12 private firms. The decision was announced at a news conference hosted by Mayor Dewey Bartlett Thursday afternoon.

The bidding process for the City's first managed competition project, where City employees bid against private services, was a dedicated effort to lower the City's cost and lead to improved efficiencies, the Mayor said.
