Please be aware that any violation of this policy by a Respondent and/or any attempt to influence an Aviation

2.7. Basis of Award and Reservation of Rights

Unless all Responses are rejected, a Notice of Intent to Award the Contract will be issued to the lowest, qualified, responsible Respondent whose Response is responsive to the

Solicitation. The apparent low bid will be determined on the basis of the Total Bid Price. In determining the apparent low bid, the Owner reserves the right to correct, in all bids, obvious mathematical errors within the Total Bid Price, the unit price extensions, page totals or any combination thereof, if applicable. The Owner also reserves the right to take into consideration the Respondent's qualifications and past performance with the Owner or any other entity in determining if the Respondent is responsible and qualified.

If the pricing table includes any alternates, the apparent low bid will be determined on the basis of the Base Bid price, or Base Bid price plus any combination of the Additive Alternate

Bid prices, or Total Bid Price. The final amount of funding available for this project will not be known until the time of bid opening, and the scope of work awarded will be dependent on that amount. The apparent low bid will reflect the combination of proposed cost for the scope of work that is closest to, but still less than, the funding amount available.
