Urge That All
Bids Be Opened
Before Bidders

Open bids in the presence of all
the bidders, instead of secretly. as
HIS been the past custom is strong
ly urged by the Southern California
Chapter, Associated General Con-
tractors of America, who have re-
Gently adopted rule that all mem
bers of the association request the
owners, where the building or con
struction work proposed involves an
expenditures i'll excess OF Sl90,00U
that bids be opened with all bid
ders present.
1t IS pointed out that general
cont ractors are spending thousands
of dollars monthly estimating build
ings or construction work, i'll which
they have no chance whatever of re-
eeiving the construction contract,
as the owner or owner s. agent had
previously agreed with some con
tractors to handle the work at a
stipulated figure. They claim that
figures submitted under the above
| conditions are used only IS check
against the original bid and to
| camouflage the purpose Of the own
er.
Under the proposed arrangements
the owners are assured of keen com
petition from reliable contractors
who hesitate to make an estimate
feeling that they viii not receive
due consideration, it is stated. II
is also poirted out, that this method
would not in any way limit the night
of the owner to reject any or al
, bidss or TO select the lowest respon
sible bidder instead Of the lowest
, bids, but It does make the mat
ter subject to open and frank dis
cusion.
Architects and engineers have
been asked to cooperate with the
chapter in enforcing the rule.
