The firm’s client was the low bidder on a $75 million port facility rehabilitation on one of the largest marine ports on the West Coast. The second low bidder protested, contending the firm’s client submitted an inadequate Small Business Enterprise (SBE) outreach and commitment plan. The firm responded to the protest and represented the low bidder at the award hearing before the port commissioners. Based on the firm’s arguments, the commissioners rejected the protest and awarded the project to the firm’s client.
