Chapter 672-5 - GOVERNING THE PREQUALIFICATION OF PROSPECTIVE BIDDERS
Rule 672-5-.09 - Bidding Authorization
Current through Rules and Regulations filed through December 27, 2023
(1) A Prospective Bidder may be issued Proposal Forms covering various projects. In the event a bidder submits a low bid on one or more projects and the aggregate amount is greater than the Current Capacity of the bidder, the Department will exercise its discretion in selecting the particular project or projects to award which will give the best financial advantage to the Department. The determination of the low bidder on any project or projects on which bids have been disqualified due to the operation of the above procedure will be made without consideration of the bid or bids so disqualified.
(2) Nothing in these Rules shall be construed as depriving the Department of the right to reject any bid when, in the opinion of the Department, circumstances and developments have changed the Prospective Bidder's qualification so as to affect its reliability. However, before taking such action the Department will notify the Prospective Bidder and give it an opportunity to present additional information to the Board of Review which might tend to substantiate its existing Maximum Capacity Rating or Current Capacity Rating.
