Ardmare Construction Co. v. Freedmangreen
conn · 1983 · cited in 1 Connecticut opinions naming this issue, 2012–2012
2 sentences

2012Although it is true that the alleged violations in Spiniello and Ardmare, respectively, involved irregular bids because of an oral rule addendum communicated to only one bidder and an improper signature on a bidding form, both of which flaws may be characterized as strictly procedural in nature; see Ardmare Construction Co. v. Freedman, supra, at 499-500, 467 A.2d 674 ; Spiniello Construction Co. v. Manchester, supra, at 544-45, 456 A.2d 1199 ; the alleged violation in Unisys Corp. was that the single source bid specifications favored a particular vendor.

2012Conversely, in Ardmare Construction Co. v. Freedman, 191 Conn. 497, 499, 505 , 467 A.2d 674 (1983), this court concluded that the plaintiff lacked standing to challenge the rejection of its lowest bid for failure to include a handwritten signature on the bid document because the signature requirement— however arbitrary or detrimental to the plaintiff—was uniformly applied and there was no showing of fraud or favoritism.
