1. (1) The department shall advertise the notice through appropriate public media to the extent that the department determines is sufficient to provide adequate coverage.
2. (2) If the director determines that, in view of the type of concession involved, the public interest would be best served by the solicitation of proposals from out-of-state persons or entities, the director shall give additional notice as the director finds is best suited to attract proposals from out-of-state persons or entities.
