damages for failure of Bidder to enter into Contract, in the sole discretion of the District. It is agreed

Code Sections 5100 et. seq.

8. Waiver of Irregularities. The District reserves the right to reject any or all Bid Proposals or to waive

any irregularities or informalities in any Bid Proposal or in the bidding.

9. Execution of Contract (Award). The District shall award the Contract to the lowest responsive

responsible bidder based on the criteria as indicated in the Notice to Bidders. In the event two or

more responsible bidders submit identical bids, the District shall select the Bidder to whom to award

the Contract by lot. In the event all Bids exceed the bid threshold, the District’s Governing Board

may elect to pass a resolution to award the Contract to the lowest responsible Bidder. Issuance of

a Purchase Order shall be evidence the contractual agreement between the bidder(s) and the

District and the bidder’s acceptance of these Bid Instructions and Conditions. The District reserves

the right of determination that items bid meet or do not meet bid specifications. Further, the District
