  That can occur when the universe of bidders "starts small," according to George Majors of Bond Logistix LLC in Los Angeles.Sometimes bond insurers have restrictive requirements for contracts, or the particulars of a transaction narrow the group of prospective bidders.
  
  Less benignly, sometimes a favored bidder is given a "last look" in the bidding process, allowing it to see other providers' bids and beat the highest bid, or the bidding agent excludes potential bidders with or without the issuer's knowledge.The bidder might want to limit its workload, or aim to give a favored firm a greater chance of winning the bidding process.In addition to running afoul of the law, the issuer also may not receive the best rate -- a bad business result, Majors said.
  
  An erroneous bid containing a mistake made by the bidder could result from a clerical or computer error and bring the bid far below other offers.While that could mean significant savings for an issuer, the mistake could cause problems down the road and should be pointed out to the bidding party, Majors said.
  
  In other cases, an issuer could receive "non-conforming" bids that do not meet the specifications provided in bid solicitation materials.If a non-conforming bid is the winner, the issuer and counsel must decide whether the nonconformity is "material."If it is not, they may opt to accept the bid.If it is material, they can disqualify the bid, or determine that a re-bid process should be conducted.
  
  Courtesy bidding is another problem issuers and counsel should watch for, where the bidding agent solicits bids from certain parties, knowing that there may not be enough bids to satisfy the safe harbor requirements, Majors said.

  George Majors, a managing director of Los Angeles-based financial advisory firm Bond Logistix LLC, said he would be surprised if bankers risked their careers -- and possibly jail - - to conspire to win municipal investment contracts at a time when probes of the financial industry have made firms more cautious.
  
  "I'm baffled,'' Majors said."Why would you do that?''
  
  Majors said his firm hasn't been contacted by investigators.
