The City shall not be <br />required to hold an administrative hearing to consider a timely protest, but may do so at the option of <br />the Engineer, or if otherwise legally required.

The City Council may either accept the protest and award the <br />bid to the next lowest responsible bidder, or reject the protest and award to the lowest responsible <br />bidder. Nothing in this section shall be construed as a waiver of the City Council's right to reject all <br />bids. <br />The City reserves the right to waive any bid irregularities not affecting the amount of the bid, except <br />where such waiver would give the low bidder an advantage or benefit not allowed other bidders. <br />Dated: Janua 19 2010 Marian Handa <br />City Clerk <br />
