The contract documents contain requirements addressing prevailing wage rates, labor standards, nondiscrimination in hiring practices, goals for minority and female participation, MBE and WBE participation, and related matters.
The owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids or to waive any informality in the bidding or to reject any or all items or portions thereof. Bids may be held by the owner for a period not to exceed forty-five (45) days from the date of opening bids for the purpose of reviewing the bids and investigating the qualifications of bidders prior to awarding the contract.
