Bid opening and award

Bids will be opened publicly.
All bids received will be recorded on a tabulation of bids and then made available for public inspection upon request.
If two or more responsible bidders make responsive bids at the same price that are in all other respects materially equivalent, then County Housing will select the winning bid by drawing lots or through a similar random method.
If only one responsive bid is received from a responsible bidder, County Housing will not award a contract based on that bid unless County Housing determines that the price and other material terms are reasonable.
Price reasonableness will be determined using a cost or price analysis.
