The firm represented the low bidder on a street and bicycle path improvement project for a large California city. The city rejected the low bid on its assertion the bid was non-responsive and the bidder was non-responsible, due in large part to a subcontractor listing error. The firm filed a comprehensive protest of the rejection and represented the client in a bidder responsibility hearing before the City Attorney. After the hearing, the city reversed its initial bid rejection and awarded the project to the firm’s client.
