Section 10782.

Latest version.

If the trustees deem it is for the best interest of the state, they may, on the refusal or failure of the successful bidder to execute the contract, award it to the second lowest responsible bidder.

If the second lowest responsible bidder fails or refuses to execute the contract, the trustees may likewise award it to the third lowest responsible bidder.

On the failure or refusal of the second or third lowest bidder, to whom a contract is so awarded, to execute it, the bidder's security shall be likewise forfeited to the state.
