If the director deems it is for the best interests of the state, he or she may, on the refusal or failure of the successful bidder to execute the contract, award it to the second best responsible bidder. If the second best responsible bidder fails or refuses to execute the contract, the director may likewise award it to the third best responsible bidder.
