KRS 177.160: Rejection of bids -- Department may do work.

(1) The department may by supplemental orders reject or order the rejection of all bids

submitted for the work, or any part thereof, and require a readvertisement for bids.

The department may reject all bids and elect to do the work itself, or partly by itself

and by the railroad company, or by contractors, or by a combination of these

methods. If the department elects to do the work itself there shall not be charged to

the railroad company any sum in excess of that it would have been required to pay

had the contract been let to the lowest bidder.

(2) In all cases where the work is let by the railroad company on contract, the work

shall be done under the general supervision of the department.
