The City reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to waive variances in bids provided such action is in the best interest of the City. Where the City waives minor variances in bids, such waiver does not modify the RFB requirements or excuse the Bidder from full compliance with the RFB.

RFB. In the event of multiple line items or interchangeable items, the city reserves the right to select items from multiple bidders.
