## Opinion text

DANIEL E. SCOTT, J.
I concur in the court’s opinion. I write only to note that the trial court expressly found no indication that the City Council’s bid decision “amounted to an abuse of discretion, was arbitrary and capricious, or was an exercise of bad faith,” and that the plaintiffs failed to meet their burden of proof as to these. Since those findings and the judgment are supported by substantial evidence, are not against the weight of the evidence, and do not misapply or misstate the law, we must affirm. Murphy v. Carron, 536 S.W.2d 30, 32 (Mo. banc 1976).
