The authorized agency shall have the right to reject any and all proposals at no cost to the authorized agency. The authorized agency may thereafter solicit new proposals or may cancel the construction manager-general contractor procurement process.

If the authorized agency is unable to negotiate a satisfactory contract with the second highest ranked construction manager, the authorized agency may undertake negotiations with the third highest ranked construction manager, if any, and may enter into a contract for preconstruction services after negotiations.
