He advised that Summit Construction of Vero Beach, LLC, who had submitted <br />the lowest bid, had asked that the County withdraw their bid due to a substantial calculation <br />error. However, due to the Easter holiday and a misunderstanding about the County's holiday <br />schedule, Summit's withdrawal was not received wrtlun two business days of the bid opening as <br />required. <br />Administrator Baird noted that although staff has no problem going to the second lowest <br />bidder, they did not have the authority to authorize Summit's bid withdrawal under the <br />requirements set forth in the bid documents and County code. <br />Chairman Flescher acknowledged that there was confusion over the holiday closures, and <br />felt that it was clearly Summit's intention was to rectify the situation immediately. <br />• <br />May 7, 2013 21 <br />143 PG 804 <br />
