Appeal. The Contractor may request, in writing, County of Orange to advise it on the basis for the

Pre-Qualification determination and any supporting evidence that was received from others or adduced as a result of an investigation by The County of Orange.

Within three (3) business days after the conclusion of the hearing, the Hearing Panel will render its decision in writing to the Contractor.
