EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Bid Specification No. 2017-03 Demolition and Site Improvements of Transit Shed 1 at Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal (TAMT)San Diego, California is the first of three (3) contract packages that are under the overall TAMT Shed Demolition & Initial Rail Component - TIGER Grant Project.

Only one pavement type will be chosen; however, the determination of low bidder is determined by adding the base bid amount plus both additive alternate amounts. The structure of this determination is to encourage competitive bid prices for both pavement system types.
The bids received were confusing and even included negative number for one of the additive bid items. Two protests were also submitted by bidders pointing out irregularities in the bids received.
