D.H. WILLIAMS CONSTRUCTION, INC. v. CLOVIS UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
Bid on a public agency contract cannot be declared nonresponsive by the public agency on the ground that the bidder has listed an unlicensed subcontractor on the bid forms; nothing in statutes requires that subcontractors be licensed as of the time of the submission of the prime bid. Where agency erroneously declared plaintiff's bid nonresponsive, trial court's order canceling contract and requiring agency to contract the remainder of the work to plaintiff based on its bid was error; correct remedy was to require agency to conduct a due process hearing to determine whether plaintiff was a responsible bidder.
