<div class="chunk-content">
            <p class="p0">
               As a custodian of public funds, the county adheres to applicable construction bidding
               practices established by state law, county policy, and good administrative practice.
               A bidder claiming wrongful treatment must formally notify the finance director at
               least ten calendar days prior to the date of the bid opening and county staff determination
               of lowest responsible bidder. The finance director will provide a formal response
               to the contractor within five calendar days. A contractor not satisfied with that
               response may appeal the decision to the county manager, provided such appeal is received
               within five calendar days after the response from the financial director. If an appeal
               is not filed within the specified period, no other county redress is available. No
               further appeal is available as of right; provided, however, the dissatisfied contractor
               may request that the board of commissioners elect to hear an appeal from the decision
               of the county manager.
