    Reversing order dismissing promissory estoppel claim and remanding with instructions for a jury trial

    This is not a case in which a plaintiff merely submitted a subcontractor's potential price or bid to a contractor, in which instance Appellant acknowledges there would be neither a contract formed at that point nor any legal obligation on the part of the contractor to accept the subcontractor's bid. AROK Construction Co. v. Indian Construction Services, 848 P.2d 870, 873 (Ariz. Ct. App. 1993) ("It is settled law that the bidding process alone does not create a contract."); Housing Authority of City of Fort Pierce v. Foster, 237 So.2d 569 (Fla. 4th DCA 1970); William A. Berbusse, Jr., Inc. v. North Broward Hospital District, 117 So.2d 550 (Fla. 2d DCA 1960). We conclude that the allegations in Count I satisfy the threshold requirements of Jacksonville Port Authority, 624 So.2d at 315, which stands for the proposition that the courts will recognize a contract so long as no essential terms remain open for consideration and negotiation.
