§ 321-35. Bid; Clarification.
The city purchasing agent may request clarification of a bid or any part thereof. Clarification shall mean the communication between the city and the bidder regarding the bid. Such communication shall not change the bid, the competitive nature of all bids or violate any ordinance, statute or law and shall not prejudice the right of the public.
In considering any clarification the city purchasing agent shall attempt to procure the best supply, service or construction at the lowest practicable price and shall make such clarifications in such a manner as to fairly and reasonably accomplish such purpose with the sole reference to the public interest.
