(3) If the cost of evaluating an Unsolicited Proposal exceeds the evaluation fee, the Director may assess an additional fee that reflect the reasonable expected costs to ODOT that may be incurred in excess of the amount deposited pursuant to section (2) of this rule for evaluation of the Unsolicited Proposal. (4) The Director may waive the fees specified in sections (1) and (2) of this rule if the interests of the state or the specific merits of the project would warrant such a waiver.
