Disposition of deposit accompanying bid


Whenever as a condition precedent to the reception or consideration of a proposal for construction, alteration, repair or improvement for the state or any department or officer thereof, a deposit of a certified check, money, bonds, corporate stock, certificates of indebtedness, or otherwise, is required, a bidder under such proposal may withdraw his bid if no award of the contract be made within forty-five days after the receipt of the bids, and upon such withdrawal his deposit shall be forthwith returned to him. A check, money, corporate stock, bond, or other security, the deposit of which is required by statute to secure a bid upon such a proposal shall be retained under the jurisdiction of the comptroller until returned to the bidder, or forfeited as provided by the law pursuant to which such proposal was made.
