SUBJECT: Relief of Contractor from bid obligation and rejection

Justification
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
RELIEVE Coggin Schuette Company from the bid dated March 3 , 1988,
pursuant to Section 5101 of the Public Contract Code, and
REJECT bids received on March 3 , 1988 for the Drainage Area 48C,
Line A Bypass project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT•
None
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The apparent low bidder, Coggin Schuette Company, of Antioch, CA,
made an error in its bid. In accordance with Section 2-1. 095 of
the Standard Specifications of the California Department of
Transportation and relevant sections of the Public Contract Code,
Coggin Schuette Company submitted evidence of erroneous
calculations verifying that a true mistake was made. This allows
that the Board grant relief from the bid., The second lowest bid,
by Mountain Cascade Company, significantly exceeds the funds
available for the project. The rejection of all bids and the
preparation of a revised project for future advertising is the
most practical move.
