Procurement Information
Four bids were received according to Section 34-201 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by the Street Transportation Department on Aug. 1, 2017. One bid was deemed non-responsive for failure to submit a bid bond as required by the solicitation. The remaining three bids were sent to the Equal Opportunity Department for review to determine subcontractor eligibility and general contractor responsiveness in demonstrating compliance with the project’s Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal. All three bidders were deemed responsive.
The bids ranged from a low of $4,112,938.55 to a high of $4,399,907.50. The Engineer's Estimate and the three lowest responsive, responsible bidders are listed below:
