B.

The delegate shall open and examine all the written bids to lease or license the property at the place and time specified in the call for bids. The highest written bid that conforms to all the terms and conditions specified in the call and was made by a responsible party shall be declared as the highest bid by the delegate pending final approval by the board.

C.

The delegate shall present the highest declared bid as described in this section 4.26.040 B., to the board at a regular meeting for acceptance or rejection. The board shall either accept the bid declared as the highest or reject all bids for the proposed lease or license.
