About Competitive Bidding
Competitive bidding is the primary method to obtain solicitations. Competitive bids are not subject to negotiations and an award is made to the lowest and best regular responsible bidder. Such determination may be made on the basis of the lowest ultimate cost to LADWP of such materials or equipment in place and use. All qualified suppliers will be given an equal opportunity to do business with the LADWP and utilizes competitive bidding to award contracts.
