The firm has notified the University of an error in its bid and requested permission to withdraw it since, due to the error, the firm could not fulfill its contractual obligation without suffering economic hardship. Facilities Management, Physical Plant Department, has determined that there is clear and demonstrable evidence that the bidder made a bona fide error in the preparation of the bid, that the error will result in a substantial loss to the bidder, and has recommended that the bidder be allowed to withdraw its bid. The university counsel has stated that, under these circumstances, the University's regulations allow the University to permit the withdrawal.)
