Does an A E have a property interest in its design-build proposal?

Article Abstract:

The Court of Appeals of Idaho, hearing the case of property interest rights for A E over a design-built jail, ruled that the submission of building proposals to the county did not give property interest rights to the A\Es. The competitive building statutes for design-build contracts allow property interest rights only to the lowest responsible bidder and not to all potential bidders. Moreover, the county's request for proposals was only intended for planning and receiving information and did not lead to an obligation to accept any of the proposals.
