Bid Protest from 3rd Low Bidder
Protest basis: Low bidder did not list
geotechnical engineering subcontract.
Protest is meritless because:
◦Public Contract Code only requires listing
subcontractors over 0.5% of bid amount, and
geotechnical not over 0.5%.
◦Professional engineering not contractor.
◦Even if listing geotechnical engineering were required,
affect is immaterial.
Recommendation: Reject bid protest
