Any person who files an action protesting a decision or intended decision pertaining to contracts administered by the department or agency pursuant to section 120.57(3), F.S., shall post with the department or the agency at the time of filing the formal written protest a bond payable to the department or agency in an amount equal to 1 percent (1%) of the estimated contract amount. The estimated contract amount shall be based upon the contract price submitted by the protestor or, if no contract price was submitted, the department or agency shall estimate the contract amount based on factors including, but not limited to, the price of previous or existing contracts for similar commodities or contractual services, the amount appropriated by the Legislature for the contract, or the fair market value of similar commodities or contractual services. The agency shall provide the estimated contract amount to the Respondent within seventy-two (72) hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and state holidays, after the filing of the notice of protest by the Respondent.
