BOISE, Idaho (AP) -- The largest school district in the state plans to restart the bidding process with copier companies for their services in November, nearly three months after recanting on a decision to award the contract to Xerox Corp.

An Idaho copier company filed a complaint in July with the Meridian School District, saying administrators turned down its contract and it would have saved taxpayers $680,000 over five years.

Fisher's Document Systems Inc. Chairman Gary Mahn said his Boise-based company bid about $32,417 per month to provide more than 120 copiers to the southwest Idaho school district for 60 months.

The district instead picked the Connecticut-based Xerox Corp., and their proposal requesting $43,758 a month.

District spokesman Eric Exline says the bidding process is expected to restart this month and a proposal will likely go before the school board for consideration in January.
