The firm’s client was the low bidder for the largest bid package on a public university construction project. Another bidder and a union organization protested award of the bid package to the firm’s client, claiming the firm’s client was not a “responsible contractor” under California law. The protester and union organization accused the firm’s client of being unsafe and failing to pay prevailing wage. The firm’s response rebutted all of the allegations, and resulted in the awarding body voting to award to the firm’s client.
