A public agency may reject all bids on a public works project when:
a.It reserved that right and has a valid reason to do so
b.The apprenticeship committee objects to the bid schedule
c.Only if the lowest bidder consents to the rejection
d.Never, once the bids have been solicited and opened publicly
Explicación
Public Contract Code §20166 lets an awarding body reject any and all bids, and agencies reserve that right in the call for bids; the usual grounds are that every bid exceeds the budget, that all are nonresponsive, or that rebidding better serves the public. An apprenticeship committee has no voice in the award. The low bidder's consent is not required, because rejection is the agency's decision, not a negotiation. The last option inverts the rule: soliciting bids creates no duty to award a contract.
