Low bid is not always the best bid.
Munidipalities use low bids all the time and then end up getting ripped off in the end by work changes.
Delmar does this regularly with their CDBG program. They always take low bid and in some cases (many actually) the jobs end up costing more than the highest bid they received.
Not to mention the same people get awarded the bids all the time!
