thereof is interested in more than one proposal for the work contemplated may cause the rejection of

All information will be treated confidentially and caller anonymity will be respected.

that forms the basis for the protest. The protest must include the name, address, and telephone number
of the person representing the protesting party.
The party filing the protest must concurrently transmit a copy of the initial protest to the bidder deemed
the lowest responsible bidder.
The party filing the protest must have actually submitted a bid on the project. A subcontractor of a
party filing a bid on this project may not submit a Bid Protest. A party may not rely on the Bid Protest
submitted by another bidder, but must timely pursue its own protest.
The procedure and time limits set forth in this Section are mandatory and are the bidder’s sole and
exclusive remedy in the event of a Bid Protest. The bidder’s failure to fully comply with these
procedures shall constitute a waiver of any right to further pursue the Bid Protest, including filing of a
challenge of the award pursuant to the California Public Contract Code, filing of a claim pursuant to
the California Government Code, or filing of any other legal proceedings.
The City shall review all timely protests prior to formal award of the bid. The City shall not be required
to hold an administrative hearing to consider a timely protest, but may do so at the option of the
Engineer, or if otherwise legally required. At the time of the City Council’s consideration of the award
of the bid, the City Council shall also consider the merits of any timely protests and the Engineer’s
recommendation thereon. The City Council may either accept the protest and award the bid to the next
lowest responsible bidder, or reject the protest and award to the lowest responsible bidder. Nothing in
this section shall be construed as a waiver of the City Council’s right to reject all bids.
