The following are the reasons why EOM Roofing was determined to be "non-responsive":
1. Their bid did not acknowledge receipt of Addenda#3.Which contained detailed information on the sheet
metal work for this project. Receipt of all addenda is a requirement of the bid form.There were three(3)
addenda issued for this project.
2. We received 5 bids with the average being$87,656.40. EOM Roofings bid 54.7% below the average bid.
3.There time to complete the work was listed as 3 days.All the other bidders we at 60-120 days.
