Our representation concerns the recent bids received by the City of Miami in response to the request for bids issued by the City relating to the Pines Sanitary Sewer Improve- ment Project. It is our understanding that bids for this project were received and opened by the City on December 14, 1978, and the apparent low bid, in the amount of'$3,064,000.00, was received from Lanza Construction Company. The second apparent low bidder was my client, Intercounty, with a bid of $3,467,000.00. Our review of the City's "bid documents" and specifications causes us to conclude that the bid of Lanza Construction Company is not responsive, not in conformity with the licensing requirements of your own specifications and, therefore, illegal. It is further our opinion that this contract should be awarded to Intercounty Construction Company as The responsive low bidder. f the above is not clear, we intend this letter to be Inter- Of ice Of City Att rney City ofMiami beeember 15, 1978 Page Twos county'a protest to the awarding of this job tes ery bidder other than lntereounty. fh the event the City Commission or any -other City agency desires further information or. documentation from the undersigned, please advise and we will attempt to comply immediately.
