4. Procedures and Rights of the Authority:

The MAA shall not be liable and Respondent shall not be reimbursed, for any costs or

expenses incurred in the preparation and submission of the bids. The IFB constitutes an

affected.

ii. To request additional information.

iii. To modify dates at its discretion.

iv. To select and enter into an agreement with the Respondent whose bid best

satisfies the interest of the MAA and not necessarily on the basis of any

single factor.

its sole discretion, deems it to be in its best interest.
