Any bidder, offeror or contractor declared ineligible to participate in public contracts
shall be notified in writing. Such notice shall state the reasons for the action taken.
This decision shall be final unless the bidder, offeror or contractor appeals within
30 days of receipt by invoking the administrative procedures set forth in the contract,
if any, or in the alternative by instituting legal action as provided in section 3-3-108 of this chapter.

or not in accordance with the Constitution of Virginia, statutes or regulations, the
sole relief shall be restoration of eligibility. (Ord. No. 2757, 1/22/83, Sec. 1;
