Universal Citation: OR Admin Rules 111-005-0050

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 9, September 1, 2024

(1) Treatment of mistakes. If OEBB discovers certain mistakes in a Proposal before award of the Contract, and the mistakes are not identified as those qualifying as non-responsive to the specifications of the Procurement, OEBB may take the following action:

(a) Waive or permit a Proposer to correct a minor informality. A minor informality is a matter of form rather than substance that is evident on the face of the Proposal, or an insignificant mistake that can be waived or corrected without prejudice to other Proposers. Mistakes including, but not limited to, signatures not affixed to the Proposal document, Proposals sent to the incorrect address, insufficient number of Proposals submitted, or incorrect format will not be considered minor.

(b) Correct a clerical error if the intended Proposal and the error are evident on the face of the Proposal, or other documents submitted with the Proposal, and the Proposer confirms the correction in writing. A clerical error includes, but is not limited to, a Proposer's error in transcribing its Proposal.

(2) Rejection for mistakes. OEBB may reject any Proposal in which a mistake is evident on the face of the Proposal and the intended correct Proposal is not evident or cannot be substantiated from documents accompanying the Proposal. In order to ensure integrity of the competitive Procurement process and to assure fair treatment of Proposers, mistakes discovered that are contrary to the specifications of the Procurement will be carefully reviewed and will be determined, under sole authority of OEBB, to be waived or not be waived.

(3) If OEBB discovers mistakes in the Proposal after award, and the mistakes are not considered minor, OEBB reserves the right to determine if the award will be revoked. OEBB will then re-evaluate Proposals deemed to be in second, third, fourth, etc., in the standings.
