c. waive minor informalities and irregularities in the bidder’s submittal.

A bid may be non-responsive by reasons, including, but not limited to, failure to utilize or complete prescribed forms, conditional bids, incomplete bids, indefinite or ambiguous bids, failure to meet deadlines and improper and/or undated signatures.
