CALTRANS Bid Procurement for Legal Photocopying Services

In October 2011, Caltrans (the California Department of Transportation) posted bid results for a “legal photocopying” services bid procurement. I don’t have a copy of the bid document, but I did find the bid results, just this morning. Note the range of bids, from low to high. Quite a gap between the lowest bid and the highest bid!

If you want detailed information about the bid results, you’ll have to contact Caltrans. (When requested detailed bid-results information, always request copies of each bid so that you can see “unit prices” bid for each line item.)

This verbiage appears at the top of the “bid results” page:

“Bid results shown below are preliminary pending review and verification of applicable bid requirements such as: small business preference, dvbe/dbe/good faith effort, licensing, bonding, qualifications, etc.; contracts will be awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible bidders, unless stated otherwise in the invitation for bid/request for proposals. The bid opening results will be posted as soon as possible to this webpage. The time thursday afternoon. Please be patient as the bid results should be posted between 6:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. every wednesday and friday. Thank you.”
