The ruling brings into question the fair's ability to have carnival rides and games — a major attraction at the annual event.
Juggler Mark Wilder entertaining guests at the San Diego County Fair, June 11, 2021.
“There is a probability of prevailing on the claim that the bid was tailored specifically for one bidder,” he wrote in the 14-page ruling. “There is at least the appearance of favoritism, which is contrary to public policy.”California's public contracting laws are designed to have an open and competitive bidding process.
"Even though the fair is relatively close, the judge felt that the public policy at stake was very important, that we couldn't have public contracts that had been rigged and violated the code and felt that the integrity of the competitive bidding process and the integrity of governmental institutions were at stake," he said
In 2021, RCS won the contract to run the midway where carnival rides and games are held, but Talley, the only other bidder, filed a protest saying the fair officials lowered Talley's score to award RSC the bid.
