The authority may, however, reject any or all bids or waive\nany informality in a bid if it believes that the public interest will be\npromoted thereby. The authority may reject any bid if, in its judgment,\nthe business and technical organization, plant, resources, financial\nstanding, or experience of the bidder justifies such rejection in view\nof the work to be performed.\n
