The opinion
MOORE, Circuit Judge,
concurring in part.
I concur in the majority opinion with one exception. The last paragraph of part III A of the majority includes a sentence regarding the hypothetical intersection of lowest-bidder contracting requirements and reasonable accommodations for disabilities. This sentence does not pertain to any facts or legal issues presented in this appeal. This sentence is pure dictum; it is totally unnecessary and irrelevant to our disposition of this case. In other respects I concur with the majority.
