Sec. 1. For all proposals under seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000), the designer shall make a recommendation to the director as to acceptance or rejection of the bids. If the director concurs in a recommendation for acceptance, a letter type contract may be sent to the successful bidder with approval by the commissioner. For bids that exceed seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000), the designer, after a full review of the bid and discussion with all interested parties to the bid, shall make recommendation to the director as to acceptance or rejection of the bids. If the director concurs in a recommendation for acceptance, the director shall compose a formal contract for the signature of the commissioner for said work after determining that funds are available. If bids are rejected, the director shall consult all parties concerned to ascertain the advisability of rebidding or canceling the project, commensurate with the provisions of 25 IAC 2-3-6 and 25 IAC 2-6-8.
