(a) A state-funded public project for which the agency of local government receives no bids or for which all bids have been rejected;

(b) A state-funded public project for which the responsible officer determines it is necessary to make emergency procurements or contracts because there exists a threat to public health, welfare, or safety under emergency conditions, but such emergency procurements or contracts shall be made with such competition as is practicable under the circumstances; however, a written determination of the basis for the emergency and for the selection of the particular contractor shall be included in the contract file.
