A bidder who has the experience, financial strength, and reputation to actually complete the project.
A responsible bidder is one who has demonstrated the financial resources, technical ability, equipment, experience, and integrity necessary to successfully perform the work. Responsibility is evaluated separately from responsiveness and cannot be waived. An owner may reject even the lowest responsive bid if the bidder is deemed not responsible.
