{0>Such price reduction and comparison may be limited to certain times which shall not be more than three times. If, after following the procedure set forth in the foregoing, the lowest tender still exceeds either of the said amounts, the tendering procedure shall be nullified. <}0{>機關得就重新比減價格之次數予以限制，比減價格不得逾三次，辦理結果，最低標價仍逾越上開金額時，應予廢標。<0}
