Dissenting Opinion by
Judge Palladino:
I respectfully dissent. As stated in my dissent in Fumo v. Redevelopment Authority of the City of Philadelphia, 115 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 542, 541 A.2d 817 (1988), no contract was formed between Fumo and the Authority.'The Authority made a material change in the terms of the invitation to bid by adding a requirement that the contract contain a twenty-five (25) year deed restriction. When this occurred, the proper procedure was to set aside all bids and begin the bidding process anew. Therefore, the trial court erred in denying the Cathedrals request for an injunction prohibiting the Authority from entering into a contract with Fumo.
