NY Court Rejects Bidder Responsibility Protest

A New York State Supreme Court judge rejected the protest of LVI Environmental Services on a $34.1 million asbestos abatement project. LVI claimed that the low bidder Cambria Contracting did not meet the bidder responsibility criteria for experience necessary to perform the project. In ruling against LVI, the judge noted that officials had a "rational basis" for awarding the project to Cambria. LVI is weighing their options on whether to appeal the June 30, 2009 ruling by the court. Other resources:
