If three proposals are not received and the project has been publicly advertised for a minimum of 30 days, the County can proceed with the proposals received. The Board of Commissioners must award the contract to the best qualified contractor, taking into consideration several factors as well as any that the County determines as having a material bearing on the proposal/project.
