The Florida Division of Administrative Hearings (DOAH) recently issued a bid protest decision on an important procedural issue. In
Cross Constr. Servs., Inc. v. Dep’t of Transp., No. 20-4214BID, 2020 WL 7425244 (Fla. Div. Admin. Hrgs. Dec. 14, 2020) (RO), ALJ Bogan found it was not arbitrary, capricious, or otherwise improper for an agency to reject all offers in response to an untimely bid protest. In practical terms, this means that even if a protester’s allegations are untimely, it may still be worth it to file a protest if the issue is significant (although in such instances protesters should know they cannot “win” the protest, the agency must “voluntarily” correct the error).
