The District is not required to hold an administrative hearing to consider a bid protest but may do so at the sole option of the Assistant General Manager, or if otherwise legally required. The AGM or his/her designee shall consider the merits of any timely protests and make a final determination thereon.

t. BASIS OF CONTRACT AWARD Definitions:

(a) The Total Base Bid is the contractor’s Bid for all items listed in the Bid Proposal.

(b) For a definition of Responsible Bidder, see Instructions to Bidders, Item o.

The contract will be awarded to the lowest Responsible Bidder, as defined above under Responsive Proposal considering the following factors:

(a) If the lowest Total Base Bid is equal to or less than the Project Budget (as stated in Instructions to Bidders), the contract will be awarded to that Bidder.

(b) If the lowest Total Base Bid is greater than the Project Budget, that Bidder may be awarded the contract, or, all Bids may be rejected, at the sole discretion of the District;

(c) In the event of a tied low bid, the award would be based on a coin toss or equivalent random selection process.

(d) The District reserves the right to reject any or all of the Bids at its sole discretion.

Incorrect Totals. In the event a computational error for any bid item results in an incorrect extended total for that item, the submitted base bid total will be adjusted to reflect the corrected amount as the product of the estimated quantity and the unit cost. In the event of a discrepancy between the actual total of the itemized or unit prices shown on the Bid Schedule for the base bid, and the amount entered as the base bid on the Bid Proposal form, the actual total of the itemized or unit prices shown on the Bid Schedule for the base bid will be deemed the base bid price.

Likewise, in the event of a discrepancy between the actual total of the itemized or unit prices shown on the Bid Schedule for any bid alternate, and the amount entered for the alternate on the Bid Proposal form, the actual total of the itemized prices shown on the Bid Schedule for that alternate will be deemed the alternate price. Nothing in this provision is intended to prevent a bidder from requesting to withdraw its bid for material error under Public Contract Code § 5100 et seq.

u. NOTICE OF AWARD Immediately after Board action, the District Representative will notify the Contractor in writing of award of the contract. Contractor shall provide District Representative a Labor and Materials Payment Bond, Performance Bond, Proof of Insurance, and signed Agreement within ten (10) calendar days of Award of Contract.
