These proceedings arose as a result of an invitation to bid (ITB) issued by Respondent, Department of Transportation (Department), for road work on SR-76 (Kanner Highway) in Martin County, Florida (State Project No. 89060-3523). The Department proposed to reject the bid of petitioner, Dickerson Florida, Inc. (Dickerson), the apparent low bidder, as non-responsive for failure to achieve the disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) goal, and to award the contract to Ranger Construction Industries, Inc. (Ranger), the next apparent low bidder.Bidder's failure to include description of work MBE was to perform was con- trary to terms of ITB & not minor irregularity since affected DOT's interest
