Alex wants to submit a bid on a city sewer project. He computes the cost, but mistakenly omits the cost of one item. Accordingly, he submits a bid of $430,000 to the city. The next highest bid is $675,000, and the rest of the bids are even higher. The city is happy to have such a low bid, so it accepts Alex's bid and awards him the contract for the job, even though the city engineer is of the
opinion the job cannot be done for less than $650,000. In this case:
A) Alex must perform for the agreed upon price because he has made a unilateral mistake.
B) the city was aware of or should have been aware of Alex's mistake. When it accepted the bid with knowledge of Alex's mistake, the city sought to take an unconscionable advantage of Alex's error.
C) the city must allow Alex to revise his bid to include the cost of the omitted item.
D) Alex will be paid the fair market price according to the UCC for his work.
