of mowing contracts. Abutting landowners are given priority over other bidders for contract mowing of the area adjacent to their property. When two abutting landowners have submitted bids for the same area, the highest bid will be given priority. The department reserves the right to reject any or all bids. If an award is made, the bidder must agree to enter into a contract with the department and to tender, either in cash or by check, the full amount for the area awarded. The amount due shall be determined by multiplying the length of the area awarded times the amount bid per mile.
