To protect the integrity of the competitive bidding process and to assure fairness, the District shall consider a request to withdraw a bid because of an inadvertent, nonjudgmental mistake in the bid. If the mistake is attributable to an error in judgment, the bid

24 may not be withdrawn. Except as provided in Section 3.02, the District will not allow a bid to be corrected after bid opening Correction of Bid after Opening. After bid opening, changes in bid prices or other provisions prejudicial to the interests of the District will not be permitted, except in three situations in which mistakes are discovered after the time and date set for bid opening but before award: Minor Informalities. Minor informalities are matters of form rather than substance, or insignificant mistakes that can be waived or corrected without prejudice to other bidders; that is, the effect on price, quantity, quality, delivery, or contractual conditions is negligible. The District will waive in writing these informalities or allow a bidder to correct them depending on which is in the best interests of the District Mistakes Where Intended Correct Bid is Evident. If the mistake and the intended correct bid are clearly evident on the face of the bid document, the bid will be corrected to the intended correct bid and may not be withdrawn. Examples of mistakes that may be clearly evident on the face of the bid document are typographical errors, errors in extending unit prices, transportation errors, and arithmetical errors. Unit price is the governing factor if an error is made in extending the unit price Mistakes where Intended Correct Bid is Not Evident. A bidder may be permitted to withdraw a low bid if: (A) a mistake is clearly evident on the face of the bid document but the intended correct bid is not similarly evident; or (B) the bidder submits proof which clearly and convincingly demonstrates that a mistake (not an error in judgment) was made.
