Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 16:72-2.19
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 24, December 18, 2024
(a) While bidders normally shall be expected to be bound by their bids, circumstances exist where correction or withdrawal of bids is permitted.
1. A bidder shall not
be permitted to correct a bid mistake after bid opening that would cause the
bidder to have the low bid, unless the mistake is clearly evident from
examining the bid document, for example, clerical errors in
extensions.
2. In lieu of bid
correction, NJ TRANSIT may permit a low bidder alleging a material mistake of
fact to withdraw its bid when there is reasonable proof that a mistake was made
and the intended bid cannot be ascertained with reasonable certainty. Such
bidder shall not be permitted to withdraw its bid for mistakes or errors in
judgment.
3. Correction of bid
mistakes after bid award shall be subject to the same proof as corrections
before award and after bid opening, with the further requirement that no
correction shall be permitted that would cause the contract price to exceed the
next low bid.
