Description
On August 12, the following telegram from one of plaintiffs' employees was received by the commission: "Confirming phone call to Mr. Perkins unable to return contract on Ashfork Flagstaff job by Monday 15th account R. L. and N. L. Basich have been out of town on urgent business expected back Tuesday. Respectfully ask for a few days extension of time." On the same day the commission passed and adopted a resolution which in effect stated that in the event of the failure of plaintiffs to execute the construction contract and return it within ten days from the date of the award, the commission elected to annul the award, forfeit the "proposal guarantee" to the state, and to enter into a contract for the performance of the work with the next lowest bidder. On that day the commission telephoned and wired plaintiffs advising them of the passing of the resolution. On August 20, plaintiffs received a letter written by the commission on August 17, informing them that on August 16, their "proposal guarantee" had been forfeited and that the contract had been awarded to the next lowest bidder. Thereafter plaintiffs duly filed a claim for the return of the sum of $30,000 with the commission, the State Highway Engineer, and the State Auditor. The claim was disallowed.
