A. With respect to a protest of a solicitation, the City Engineer is authorized to deny a protest, or to amend or withdraw any solicitation.

B. If the protest is based on an alleged mistake, impropriety, or defect that is apparent before the deadline for submission of a solicitation response, the proposer will file the protest within seven days after the proposer knew or should have known of the alleged mistake, impropriety or defect; but in no case later than seven days prior to the deadline for submission of the solicitation response.

C. All solicitation protesters must submit a timely offer regardless of a solicitation protest being submitted. Only upon official notice from the City Engineer in the form of a solicitation addendum will a solicitation deadline be postponed, at the City Engineer’s discretion. (Ord. No. G-747, § 1; Ord.
