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. The estimated contract amount is not subject to protest pursuant to section 120.57(3), F.S. The bond shall be conditioned upon the payment of all costs and charges that are adjudged against the protestor in the administrative hearing in which the action is brought and in any subsequent appellate court proceeding. In lieu of a bond, the department or agency may, in either case, accept a cashier's check, official bank check, or money order in the amount of the bond. If, after completion of the administrative hearing process and any appellate court proceedings, the department or agency prevails, it shall recover all costs and charges which shall be included in the final order or judgment, excluding attorney's fees. This section shall not apply to protests filed by the Office of Supplier Diversity. Upon payment of such costs and charges by the protestor, the bond, cashier's check, official bank check, or money order shall be returned to the protestor. If, after the completion of the administrative hearing process and any appellate court proceedings, the protestor prevails, it shall recover all costs and charges which shall be included in the final order or judgment, excluding attorney's fees.
