Lowest responsible bidder wins or all bids are rejected.
California law regarding bid protests divides into two general categories. First are the procedural requirements for bringing protests – the time, manner, format, and other technical requirements a disappointed bidder must comply with to have the protest heard. These requirements, if stated, are agency and even project specific. Protest procedures may be in the bid documents or they may be set forth in a statute or ordinance. Many local agencies have no formal process, in which case the requirements of the bid documents govern. The second category is the legal standards for evaluating the merits of a bid protest. The law in this category is almost entirely developed from court decisions that have mapped out the contours of bidder responsiveness, responsibility, and what are material deviations. This white paper reviews these categories and discusses procedural requirements and a summary of public bidding rules.
