*578LARSEN, Justice,
dissenting.
I dissent. Even the majority recognizes that judicial intervention was proper because “the elementary principles of competitive bidding had been violated when Control Data was allowed to ‘clarify’ its bid after American Totalisator’s bid had been opened.” However, I disagree with the majority’s conclusion that the chancellor acted properly in ordering the submission of new bids since American Totalisator had in fact been the lowest responsible bidder; and, as such, I would now award the contract to American Totalisator. Additionally, I would compel Control Data to disgorge its profits to the Commonwealth.
