5.2 Rejection of Bids. Notwithstanding any other provision, the Owner shall have the right to reject any or all Bids, before or after opening, for any reason whatsoever including, but not limited to, any failure of any Bid to be accompanied by a Bid Bond or by other data required by the Bidding Documents, any incompleteness or irregularity of any Bid received, any evidence of collusion with the intent to defraud or other illegal practices on the part of the Bidder, failure to comply with the requirements of the Bidding Documents, or exceeding the funds available.
