When the contract is not awarded to the lowest bidder in price, the reasons for making the award otherwise shall be stated as the council's findings and be set forth in the City Council's minutes for projects in excess of three hundred thousand ($300,000) dollars or in a written finding by the Director or designate for projects of three hundred thousand ($300,000) dollars or less. In the event award to other than the low bidder in price is on account of a determination that a bidder has not met bidder responsibility criteria for the project, and if the bidder has filed a timely bidder responsibility appeal pursuant to RCW 39.04.350, the City shall not execute a contract with any other bidder until two business days after the bidder determined to be not responsible has received the final determination.
