LNI Custom Manufacturing, Inc. Hawthorne $ 220,100.00 $ 274,999.60 2. Superior Electrical Advertisings Long Beach A total of two bids were received and both were responsive. LNI Custom Manufacturing, Inc. advised City staff that Bid Item #4 unit price was incorrect as the product of their unit price multiplied by the quantity is inaccurate. However, the bid amount is correct and the clerical error does not change the total amount of the bid. After reviewing both bid proposals, staff noted that Superior Electrical Advertisings made the same mistake. Staff has found sufficient grounds to accept this clerical error and recommends that LNI Custom Manufacturing, Inc.' s request be granted. The lowest bid was submitted by LNI Custom Manufacturing, Inc. for $220,100, which is below the Engineer's estimate of $369,500. 80A-2
