Sec. 7.
A bid significantly below the other bids or the project cost estimate shall not be treated as prima facia evidence of mistake and no bid will be rejected based on presumed error in bid. In such instances the Bid Officer shall ask the low bidder, if represented at the opening, to quickly confirm his bid, while the bid opening is still in session, and if an error is alleged to have been made to submit evidence of such error in a timely manner to the Director, for consideration by the State. If the apparent low bidder is not present at the bid opening, the Bid Officer shall contact him as soon as possible and secure a confirmation of his bid or evidence of error.
