The New CEO Of Bristol Virginia Utilities, Don Bowman, Says The Organization Likely Violated The Virginia Procurement Act When Awarding Contracts To Two Former Contractors Who Pleaded Guilty To Federal Conspiracy Charges On Monday. James Todd Edwards And Michael Clark Admitted To A Deceptive Scheme That Awarded Kickbacks To Former BVU Vice Presidents Robert James Kelley And David Copeland In Return For Approval Of Fake Invoices. Bowman Said When It Came To Awarding Contracts, The Utility Rarely Advertised The Contracts For Bids Or Put Out Requests For Proposals.
