RE: Pedestrian Bridge Improvements on Poway Creek at Bowron
Road.
Dear Javid,
This is to request relief of bid that we submitted on 6/8/93
for the subject project for which we are the low bidder. We
have made a careful review of our bid and we find that we
have made a gross clerical error in leaving out the
installation cost of the bridge (part of item 6 of Sch.Il.
Due to this error, we regretfully request that this company,
Castello. Inc. , be relieved from the subject bid.
Sincerely
~~
