IC 5-30-7-8: Negotiation of contract terms

Sec. 8. (a) The public agency may negotiate any contract term with the offeror selected under section 6 of this chapter, except for those terms identified in the request for proposals as nonnegotiable.

(b) If the public agency is unable to negotiate a contract with its first selection, the public agency may:

(1) terminate negotiations with that offeror; and

(2) negotiate with the next lowest adjusted price offeror.

A public agency shall continue in accordance with this procedure until a contract agreement is reached or the selection process is terminated.
