Deveaux files protest - Discrimination he claims

Dev-Land Demolitions and Site, Inc, with president Carl Deveaux, has filed a protest against the intent to award the Debris Removal and Hauloff Emergency Services to some company other than his.

Dev-Land cited "discrimination" in the scoring of its proposal but failed to allege any specific or sufficient grounds for the City to eliminate or disqualify any respondent.

Thirteen companies responded to the RFP (Dev-Land was ranked #12) that was narrowed down to four companies. Dev-Land was not among the four.

Back in 2011, the City of Lake Worth got into trouble with the court. Two Lake Worth employees - an attorney and a code enforcement secretary - were placed on administrative leave after a Palm Beach County circuit judge blasted the city for lying to the court in an attempt to foreclose on land owned by the Deveaux brothers, Ed and Carl, two longtime business owners. Bogus and fraudulent documents had been filed against the Deveaux's.
