The final determination of the protest shall:

• Find the protest lacking in merit and uphold the University’s action; or

• Find only technical or harmless errors in the University’s acquisition process and determine the University to be in substantial compliance and reject the protest; or

• Find merit in the protest and provide the University options which may include:

--Correct the errors and re-evaluate all proposals, and/or --Reissue the solicitation document and begin a new process, or --Make other findings and determine other courses of action as appropriate.

If the University determines that the protest is without merit, the University will enter into a contract with the Apparent Successful Bidder. If the protest is determined to have merit, one of the alternatives noted in the preceding paragraph will be taken.
