Abstract:

A local governing board awards a construction contract to the lowest possible bidder. After the award but before the written contract is signed, the board determines that it is not in its best interest to proceed with the award. This bulletin examines the issue of when a public contract governed by North Carolina's competitive bidding requirements becomes binding on the governmental unit.
