The federal requirements that cover this type of procurement can be found in 24 CFR Part 92.505(a), 24 CFR Part 85, OMB Circular A-87 and further guidance can be found within CPD Notice 96-05.  As a result, the UCP must create a cost estimate of the projects and compare it to the bids received to ensure costs are allowable, allocable and reasonable.  The abovementioned bids were compared to the UCP cost estimates and determined to be beyond a reasonable amount.  Consequently, the Urban County Program is exercising its right to reject any or all bids as stated in the invitation for bids advertisement and the contractor invitation for bids packet.
