The firm’s client was the second-low bidder on a public works contract for the City of Pomona. However, the low bidder had not duly complied with the bid requirements. Specifically, the low bidder had submitted an unbalanced bid with a mathematical error. The firm protested that the low bidder’s bid error was a non-material defect which rendered the bid non-responsive. The City agreed, rejecting the low bid and awarding the project to the firm’s client.
