Clackamas County may postpone the award or execution of the contract after the announcement of the apparent successful Quoter in order to complete its investigation. Clackamas County reserves the right to reject any quote or to reject all quotes at any time prior to Clackamas County's execution of a contract if it is determined to be in the best interest of Clackamas County to do so.
6. CLARIFICATION: Clackamas County reserves the right to seek clarification of each Quote, or to make an award without further discussion of Quotes received.
7. METHOD OF AWARD: Clackamas County reserves the right to make the award by item, groups of items or entire quote, whichever is in the best interest of Clackamas County.
