(3) The director or the director’s designee may advertise for bids and award contracts for state printing, but the policy of the director or the director’s designee in deciding what work shall be let by contract shall be dictated by questions of good business and economy. [Amended by 1959 c.293 §1; 1975 c.605 §2; 1995 c.452 §11; 2001 c.539 §2]
