A bid form shows written unit prices that do not match the bidder's extended total. The instructions say unit prices govern arithmetic extensions. What should the bid review do?

Correct Answer

C) Recalculate the extension using the governing unit prices before comparison

When bid instructions state unit prices govern, the review should recalculate extensions from those unit prices before comparison. Other choices ignore the bid instructions or move a pre-award issue into post-award changes.

Answer Options
A
The bidder should accept the highest number without checking instructions
B
Discard all unit prices and use the bidder's handwritten total only
C
Recalculate the extension using the governing unit prices before comparison
D
Treat the discrepancy as an automatic change order after award

Why This Is the Correct Answer

When bid instructions state unit prices govern, the review should recalculate extensions from those unit prices before comparison. Other choices ignore the bid instructions or move a pre-award issue into post-award changes.
