- Based on the Georgia legislature's explicitly stated intention in the Georgia Local Government Public Works Construction Law, O.C.G.A. § 36-91-1 et seq., that local laws and ordinances controlled the manner of the city's execution of and entry into contracts, a contractor was not entitled to a writ of mandamus requiring the city to execute a contract in the city's favor, as neither the mayor nor the city council exercised their discretionary authority to approve any award that might or might not have resulted from the competitive sealed proposals process.

...to accomplish remaining formalities. Indeed, the City defended its selection of DFASS for well over a year during the pendency of the appeals process, although this fact is ignored by the majority. The only provision of the Construction Law, OCGA §§ 36-91-1 et seq., other than OCGA § 36-91-20(a), that the majority even mentions is OCGA § 36-91-21(c)(1)(C), which it summarily treats as subordinate to OCGA § 36-91-20(a)....
