Rados challenges disqualification on $88M DWP project
Trusted by teams at
Description
Rados Incorporated informed the LADWP Board that it is contesting a planned award of an approximately $88 million construction contract to a higher‑priced competitor after its own low bid was deemed non‑responsive over a missing contributor form for a ready‑mix supplier. The contractor has filed a formal appeal and is urging the Board to recognize it as the responsible low bidder to avoid an estimated $4.5 million cost premium.
