ANNOTATIONS

Evaluation of proposals. — All the acts in question by the city – introducing a locality requirement after the bids were opened, awarding the contract to the fourth-ranked bidder, and rejecting the proposals after making a contract award – were arbitrary and capricious. Had the city simply rejected all proposals at any point before making an award, this matter would not be before the court. Planning & Design Solutions v. City of Santa Fe, 1994-NMSC-112, 118 N.M. 707, 885 P.2d 628.
