Tata Excavating submitted the lowest bid of $483,128.44, however, it has been considered non-responsive because their bid bond was for $48,000 while the required 10% amount is $48,313 . The amount was incorrect due to a math error in the unit price extensions. Therefore, Nickolas Savko & Sons, Inc. is the lowest, responsible, responsive bidder.
