106.01 REJECTION OF BIDS.
   When in the opinion of Council, the award by a director (i.e. City Manager, City Finance Director, or Law Director) of a contract to a bidder or proposer is not in the best interest of the City, Council shall state the reason in the minutes and may accept another bid or proposal opened for award, or reject all bids or proposals and advertise for other bids or proposals, or order the applicable director to proceed or not proceed with the purchase or project. Council may at any time, reject any and all bids or proposals and waive any and all irregularities and informalities therein. Council shall not be obligated to proceed with any project or service, in full or in part, or the purchase of equipment, material, or supply in full or in part, in the event that any bid or proposal is rejected or any contract is not awarded. Moreover, any rejection of any bid or proposal may be done by motion of Council, with no further legislation being required to re-bid the project, service, equipment, material, or supply. Any such re-bid may be authorized by motion of Council. (Ord. 36-01. Passed 5-7-01.)
