(Sequel) submitted <br />a bid protest claiming that the bid submitted by All American Asphalt <br />(AAA) was non-responsive. According to a procedure established in the <br />bidding documents, the Director of Public Works Agency conducted an <br />administrative hearing to determine the merit of the protest. Specific <br />assertions of Sequel and staff's findings are summarized below. <br />First, Sequel stated that in the bidding document AAA had listed two <br />sub-contractors but indicated that AAA would perform a portion of the <br />work. Sequel asserted that by doing so, AAA would be allowed to do "bid <br />shopping". <br />Second, Sequel claimed that by adding up the amounts of the bid prices, <br />included in the List of Sub-Contractors, AAA would perform less than 500 <br />of the work. This would not be in compliance with the Standard <br />Specifications for Public Works Construction. <br />Public Works staff and the City Attorney's office after listening to the <br />information presented at the protest hearing by Sequel and AAA, has <br />determined that AAA's bid is responsive and recommends that they be <br />awarded the construction contract for the Bristol Street Widening. <br />23C-2 <br />
