Subject: Budget Type: Other

In reviewing the phasing requirements especially the elliptical pipe and box culverts with the specified coatings the advertised budget seems light. Will the project be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder if it exceeds the posted figure and not put out for re-bid with a new budget with the same scope?  
Answer   Date: 5/14/2015 11:04:18 AM
The value posted in the advertisement is used strictly for planning fiscal resources. It may not be reflective of the actual bid amounts. Every low bid is evaluated to determine whether it represents good value to the Commonwealth. A bid that represents good value may be awarded even if it exceeds the evaluative estimate.
