publicly open the sealed bids and award the contracts to the lowest
responsible bidders.
   In the case of bids opened by a district director, pursuant to
Section 10141, he shall report the contents thereof to the director.
In all other respects, the contracts shall be awarded as are other
contracts.


10181.  If the successful bidder fails to execute the contract, his
bidder's security shall be forfeited to the state. The cash or
proceeds shall be deposited in the fund out of which the expenses of
preparation and printing of the plans and specifications, estimates
of cost, and publication of notice are paid.



10182.  If the director deems it is for the best interests of the
state, he may, on the refusal or failure of the successful bidder to
execute the contract, award it to the second lowest responsible
bidder.
   If the second lowest responsible bidder fails or refuses to
execute the contract, the director may likewise award it to the third
lowest responsible bidder.
   On the failure or refusal of the second or third lowest bidder, to
whom a contract is so awarded, to execute it, his bidder's security
shall be likewise forfeited to the state.

required of him by law, within the time fixed for his execution of
the contract, constitutes a failure to execute the contract.

bonds shall be of no further effect.



10185.  If the director deems the acceptance of the lowest
responsible bid or bids is not for the best interests of the state,
after stating his or her reasons for rejecting the bid or bids, the
director may reject all bids and proceed by day's labor or advertise
for other bids in the manner required by this part.
