A Responsible Bidder Ordinance (RBO) simply outlines a set of criteria that a contractor bidding to work on a public construction project must meet in order to be awarded the contract. Most public bodies have a policy to award all construction work to the lowest bidder, or the lowest responsible bidder, but few define what it means to be
considered responsible. An RBO provides a clear definition.
