• “Minor or formal deviations from [bid specification] requirements do not compel rejection of the bid . . . although the bid may be rejected if the awarding authority so chooses”
• “minor or formal deviations from [statutory] requirements do not compel rejection of the bid”
• failure to include a critical path method [a nonstatutory requirement] was a minor deviation
• held that failure to supply graphic representation of construction progress inconsequential because it did not alter obligation to finish by certain date, and thus awarding authority could lawfully waive minor deviation
• “[i]n matters of substance there must be strict compliance with the [bid] requirements,” whereas, “[o]n the other hand, minor or formal deviations from requirements do not compel rejection of the bid” [emphasis added]
• bidders required to submit network analysis of construction progress schedule with proposal
