The department may cancel, delay or suspend a solicitation, RFQ or other preliminary procurement document, whether related to a direct award procedure, an intermediate selection procedure, a formal selection procedure, or reject all proposals, responses to RFQs, responses to other preliminary procurement documents, or any combination of the foregoing, if the department believes it is in the public interest to do so. In the event of any such cancellation, delay, suspension or rejection, the department is not liable to any proposer for any loss or expense caused by or resulting from any such cancellation, delay, suspension or rejection. Consultants responding to either solicitations, RFQs or other preliminary procurement documents are responsible for all costs they may incur in connection with submitting proposals, responses to RFQs or responses to other preliminary procurement documents.
