Bid Rejection

The Road Commission reserves the right to reject any or all bids, to waive irregularities in any bid and to accept the bid deemed to be in the best interest of the commission.

Minority Business Equal Opportunity

To ensure that minority businesses have equal opportunity to compete for contracts and sell us their goods and services, the Road Commission administration publishes the request for sealed bids in the daily newspaper and, if appropriate, in trade journals. Also, names of minority business enterprises are added to the bidder's list, as the commission becomes aware of them. In addition, a copy of each bidding notice is sent to the F.W. Dodge Co. and the Builders Exchange for posting at their offices.
