welfare;
8. CMCD shall provide an opportunity to resolve the protest by mutual agreement between the parties within
seven (7) days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and state holidays, after receipt of a timely filed formal written protest and
bid protest bond; and
9. If the protest is not resolved by mutual agreement within seven (7) days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays,
