ER CURIAM
In light of the unique and extenuating circumstances presented herein, and
given the time-sensitive nature of the ongoing project, the court of appeal is reversed.
The judgment of the trial court, which found the Authority’s decision to award the
contract to AECOM-Hunt/Broadmoor was not arbitrary and capricious, is reinstated.
