[Name of governmental entity] is not required to accept any bid. However, if [name of governmental entity] did accept a bid, it was required to accept the lowest "responsive responsible" bid. The contractor who submitted the lowest responsive responsible bid is the one who:

(1) submitted a bid that complies with the invitation to bid;

(2) submitted a bid that satisfies the plans and specifications of the invitation to bid;
