143857P.pdf 02/01/2016 Demien Construction Co. v. O'Fallon Fire Protection Dist.
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 14-3857
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis
[PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Bye and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Civil rights. In action by the unsuccessful bidder on the
fire district's building project, the plaintiff had standing, but failed
to state a claim under the Fourteenth Amendment for deprivation of a
protected interest without due process of law as under Missouri law the
unsuccessful bidder on a construction project has no property interest in
the contract where the public body reserves the rights, as the fire
district did, to reject any and all bids or to award the contract to a
bidder other than the lowest.
