T h e firm notified the University of an error in its bid and requested permission to withdraw since, due to the error, it could not fulfill its contractual obligation without suffering economic hardship. The architect and the Office for Capital Programs have determined that there is 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 he be allowed to withdraw his bid. The university counsel has advised that under these circumstances the University's regulations allow the University to permit the withdrawal.
