Mrs. Pfotenhauer advised that the out-of-state bids of Ryan Incorporated of Wisconsin, Janesville, Wisconsin; and Bates & Rogers Construction Corporation, Chicago, Illinois, were not accompanied with the proper bid security; that being either a certified check or a bid bond secured by a surety having its principal place of business in Indiana. She stated that bid bonds were submitted in both cases, said bonds being secured by an out- of-state surety. Mr. Hill explained that a recently amended state law provides that the principal office of any surety for an out- of-state bidder must be in Indiana; however, the Board's practice in the past has been to allow the bidders to submit the -appropriate bid security within a 48-hour period.
