                    PROFESSIONS, VOCATIONS, AND BUSINESSES
                                  CHAPTER 19
                           PUBLIC WORKS CONTRACTORS
    54-1904E.  AWARD OF CONTRACT TO SECOND OR NEXT LOWEST BIDDER. If the
public entity deems it is in its best interest, it may, on 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 public entity may likewise award it to the next lowest
responsible bidders.
    On the failure or refusal of the second or next lowest responsible bidders
to execute a contract, their bidder's security shall be likewise forfeited. A
public entity may determine it is in its best interests to cancel and rebid
the public works project and retain any forfeited bid security.
