Date Published:
Oct 30, 2024
Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Coleman McCallister, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Heard by Greer, P.J., and Ahlers and Badding, JJ.  Opinion by Ahlers, J.  Langholz, J., takes no part.  (12 pages)

            Inmate Calling Solutions, LLC appeals from the district court’s denial of its application for judicial review of an agency proceeding.  OPINION HOLDS: Inmate Calling Solutions waived its statutory-authority challenges by not raising them before submitting a bid.  The parties involved did not violate the terms of the request for proposal.  The decision to issue the notice of intent to a competitor of Inmate Calling Solutions was not arbitrary and capricious, without a rational basis, or an abuse of discretion.
