However, if the Executive Director, at his/her sole discretion, determines that such a delay would be detrimental to the interests of ECUA or the public health, safety, or welfare, the Executive Director may direct that the Solicitation proceed and/or recommend to the ECUA Board that the Solicitation be awarded despite the pending Protest. In such an event, the award based on such Solicitation shall be subject to the outcome of the Protest, and ECUA shall give notice of such to the Contractor which is awarded the Contract. Notwithstanding, if ECUA does not prevail in the Protest, ECUA may take such action as it considers appropriate, which may include, but shall not be limited to, award based on the Solicitation to the prevailing party, cancellation of the awarded Solicitation, or readvertisement.

If the Protestor wishes to continue the Protest beyond the decision of the Executive Director, the Protestor shall submit a petition for review by the ECUA Board. This petition shall be made in writing and delivered to the Executive Director within ten (10) business days after notice of the decision of the Executive Director. Such petition shall state the particular grounds on which it is based and may include pertinent documents and evidence relating thereto. Any grounds not stated shall be deemed to have been waived by the Protestor. This petition

The Protest Bond shall be conditioned upon the payment of all costs and charges incurred by ECUA as a result of the Protest. If the Protestor prevails in a Protest, the bond shall be returned to the Protestor. If ECUA prevails in a Protest, ECUA shall be entitled to recover the costs and charges incurred as a result of the Protest.
