(a)

Any bidder, offeror or contractor, other than one (1) who has been debarred pursuant to Division 4 of this article, refused permission to, or disqualified from participating in public contracts shall be notified in writing. Such notice shall state the reasons for the action taken. This decision shall be final unless the bidder, offeror or contractor appeals within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof by invoking the administrative appeal procedure established by the purchasing agent, if any, or in the alternative by instituting legal action as provided in section 2-577.1 of this division.

(b)

If, upon appeal, it is determined that the action taken was arbitrary or capricious, or not in accordance with the Constitution of Virginia, statutes or regulations, the sole relief shall be restoration of eligibility.
