Section 6.440  Decision

 

a)         A decision on a protest will be made as expeditiously as possible after receiving all relevant information.

 

b)         The protest will be sustained only if it is determined by the CPO that the protest conclusively demonstrates by the preponderance of relevant information submitted that fraud, corruption or illegal acts have occurred that undermine the integrity of the procurement process.

 

c)         If the protest is sustained, the remedies available are limited to cancellation or revision of the solicitation, or readvertisement of the solicitation.  Relief available does not include award of the contract to the protester.

 

d)         The decision of the CPO is final and conclusive unless clearly erroneous, arbitrary, capricious or contrary to law.  (See Section 20-75 of the Code.)  A copy of the decision of the CPO will be transmitted to the protester within 14 days after the decision is entered.
