Description
MADDOX, JUSTICE. This case involves an interpretation of the Competitive Bid Law, specifically Ala. Code 1975, § 41-16-50 et seq.
The basic question presented is whether a county board of education, having required a bidder on a school construction project
to be prequalified, could award the contract to a contractor who submitted a higher bid, on the basis that the higher bidder
was "the lowest responsible bidder." § 41-16-50(a) (emphasis added). In short, did the school board, by requiring
prequalification and then allowing a bidder to bid, predetermine the question of the bidder's responsibility?
