The proposai did not <br />vary from the specifications. <br />Along with the sealed bzd submitted by the low bi.dder <br />was an advertising brochure describing some of their <br />apparatus. The descriptian of some of their apparatus <br />in the advertising brochure varied from the bid proposal. <br />Since the advertising brochure did not canstitute part of <br />the law bidder's proposal it is our opinion that the 1ow <br />bidder did not modify his bid. <br />Naturally, the general ru].e is that after bids have been <br />received and opened by the Ci�y no material change may be <br />made in any bid.
