Bid Protests

Bid protests are legal procedures designed to ensure that all bidders for a project receive a fair chance to obtain the benefits of the contractual agreement and that no fraud, favoritism or bias is involved in the selection process. In general, bid protests can only be filed regarding publicly funded projects. These protests can be filed on a number of legal grounds, including the following:

• Unfair economic advantage given to the winning bidder
• Insufficiently detailed bid specifications
• Lack of compliance with established bidding procedures
• Failure of the winning company to comply with the specifications of the request for bids
• Arbitrary action on the part of the public agency
• Failure of the winning bidder to produce evidence of licensure or certification adequate to perform the required tasks
• Unlawful communications between companies and members of the public agency
• Failure to hold open public meetings regarding the bids and bidding procedures as needed

The Fort Lauderdale bidding and procurement lawyers at Kevin J. Taylor can help you pursue your bid protest to make sure that you receive the attention and consideration your construction company deserves when bidding on public projects.
